Where to begin...
1. Please understand, this is a floor four WALK UP. No elevator. The stairs are steep, and narrow. You will be on the TOP floor. Three flights of stairs. Bringing luggage up and down is a nightmare, and after walking the city all day long going up and down stairs and walking miles you still have to go up 3 flights of stairs with around 15 steps that are STEEP.
2. The apartment is smaller than the pictures lead you to believe. It is cute, but your TV area is from the bed.
3. The AC unit does not work. They have a table top fan for you to use to cool off.
4. The bathroom shower corner is held together with white duct tape. The silver plate that goes behind the water/temp dial is not attached. You will have to figure out which way to turn to get warm/cool water. Also, it falls forward so you can see the hole behind the plate. Also, wasn't a fan of the fabric shower curtain as we weren't sure how often it gets replaced/washed.
5. Fridge wasn't cool when we got there, fiddled with it and finally got cold, but then was freezing our drinks.
6. Trash is in the basement. You have to walk down 3 flights of stairs to then go down another flight to the trash area. Which, you then have to separate the trash for recycling. :|
7. Neighborhood wasn't nearly as cute at pictures lead you to believe. We felt unsafe walking home late at night. The side of the block that the apartment is on most of the lights were out so you are walking in a very dark area. It's about 2.5 blocks from the subway.
8. View from the windows is of other buildings and the backside of the apartment. Not really sure why there were pictures of a pretty view. Also, the window closure from the inside of the apartment is only held closed by a long metal piece, not a lock.
9. No controls for the heat that we could find in the apartment.
10. We did appreciate them letting us in an hour earlier than the check in time since we got there earlier than expected. That was one of the few things we were impressed with.
We wouldn't stay here again, but to each their own.
