While the location is great, the apartment and host were less than ideal.
Check in was a nightmare. We were told to go to the laundrymat, but the time we got there, they were closed. The host said he would refund our first day, but that never happened after repeat inquiries. Not a great start.
The apartment was dirty, outdated, and cluttered for the little space it had. The floors were sticky, it was dusty, and the counters were also not clean. The bathroom was also a mess - we ended up cleaning it ourselves so we could use it.
The main bedroom can barely come open because the bed is too big. We couldn’t get our luggage in that room, so we had to put it in the living room.
The apartment is very small, but you’re in New York, so we didn’t stay there very often. The condition made us not want to stay there even more.
The location is great. The grey dog is delicious, and it’s right by the subway.
All in all, if the host had been more communicative, and put a little more effort into cleaning and sprucing it up, it would have been a lot more enjoyable. Unfortunately, due to these reasons, we cannot recommend staying here.
