This was our first trip to New York. For housing a larger group, it’s hard to beat the price in the area. Plenty of space for our group of five. The apartment is within a few minutes walk to the subway station which will take you right into Manhattan without any problems.
The photos are fairly misleading though as the apartment is in need of some maintenance and care. Several possible safety issues due to disrepair. While the inside of the apartment itself was clean enough, the interior entry way and front stoop were disgusting with trash, months of piled up mail, and random odds and ends discarded and left. This host owns all three units and there is not any reason for such filth in the common areas.
It should also be noted that you are unable to control the heat or air conditioning in the apartment which was uncomfortable at times with no response from host when mentioned. Host was otherwise very helpful and responsive if any other issues or questions were brought up.
