The most disheartening part of this spot is definitely the furniture and finishings. They are indeed as pictured, but both are very low quality and disappointingly uncomfortable. Mainly the beds, and living room furniture. The living room is quite large for NY apt, but hard to use comfortably for any extended time frame. The pillows were “crunchy”, and all but useless for myself. We received 2 extra blankets for 3 people. The finishing of floorings & decor etc is about as cheap as possible. Most of the art is tacked paper posters and the flooring is unfinished laminate with bubbles throughout and uncut edges.
The apt was quite clean all around. It is noted in the house rules, but extra note here that all toilet paper must be placed in a trash can and cannot be flushed, which is a little awkward.
We were given 3 towels and 2 rolls of toilet paper for 3 people for 5 nights. When we asked for more, we promptly received one single roll with 3 nights remaining. We were forced to buy our own supplies after that was used up as we did not receive any more.. Communication was overall good, aside from that.
The location is pretty solid. The train is very close, which can be a pro and a con for convenience vs noise. Def lots of convenient spots in the area.
Overall the experience was “okay”, but I feel the current reviews definitely give a bit of a skewed expectation of the comfort of this listing, especially for a longer stay.
