Fine place in an old apartment building so there are quirks (super hot/cold shower, loud radiator hissing and noisy old appliances). Location is fine if you want to save money and stay in NYC. However this was a three star experience because the bed was poor; a crinkly sounding mattress protector sits beneath pilled sheets that should have been thrown out ages ago. The mattress was not supportive either.
I get that many of the weird things (e.g toilet paper roll is too close to the toilet so sitting down you get hit in the side, or the smoke smell of the building hallways) are out of the host's control, but the bed issue needs to be fixed for this to reach its four star ceiling.
