My low rating really an issue of expectations especially having been pampered with a superb prior AirBnB experience.

On the positive side, the location is simply great. one block to 72nd express, one block from central park and at the heart of many restaurants.,

That said, we didn't not expect the run down nature of the bathtub. I actually asked for photos in advance and Hudson kindly uploaded them. However, they have not reveled the cracks behind the curtains etc. The other issue is that the apartment was also rather cold (we didn't light the wood burning fire place which I'm sure would of solved the issue). Lastly, Hudson has certainly gave the apartment character and is keeping it neat. However, when you get charged a cleaning fee you expected it dusted etc.

I'm generally, don't mind a run-down place categorizing it under authentic but next time I come for a romantic get-away this would not be the place for me.

As I said it's a matter of exceptions.
