If you want to stay in Gramercy and are only going to sleep in the unit, then go for it. I feel somewhat bad for only giving this place 3 stars. I can tell the host is a nice person and I don’t want this to affect their business but to be honest, this building is an old dump. Doors barely catch on their locks. Tiniest of tiny common bathrooms located at the end of a hall (I dont think the original listing even stated that it was not in the unit itself). Thick smell of smoke in hallways. Tons of bugs and flypaper dripping sticky fluid everywhere—but I get it, its hot and it’s summer in NYC. “Cozy” may be used as a euphemism here. The owner is definitely providing a deal for people wanting to stay in lower Manhattan, but I’m afraid I would not recommend it unless you are prepared to deal with what that entails. Other guest will likely not tolerate it, but I am a seasoned traveler so it was manageable.
