No surprises with the place, you get pretty much what is described! I would stay here again.
The location was very convenient. Close to Times Square and other touristy activities (walking distance to Wicked!). Right on Restaurant Row with many bars and eateries. The only thing that's not very convenient is getting to the Lower East Side but at least the subway is close by! Other than that, everything else should be an easy walk or quick subway ride away.
The room is small but is pretty much as pictured. For the location, there aren't many options for other Airbnb or hotel spaces bigger than this (for the same price). Was just the right amount of space for my boyfriend and I. Plus we barely even had time to hang out in the room with our jam packed list of activities to do so the small space didn't bother us too much.
One reason I would book with this host again is because I appreciated the constant communication, even during times I didn't reach out for anything. I'll admit it was a little overwhelming at times because there was a LOT of info to take in from the various streams of communication (management website and Airbnb messages) but I would much rather have a plethora of info than the alternative! I found much of the info to be very helpful anyways and it made me feel more confident to reach out if I had any issues.
Although I enjoyed my stay, I do have a couple complaints. I think the place could've been a cleaner, mainly the floors, I kept my socks on. The pillows were not the most comfortable (one pair was extremely flat and the other pair was strangely firm). Furthermore, for this specific unit, the kitchenette is under a sloped ceiling which is not ideal for anyone taller than 5ft. I, myself, am 5ft and had to crouch down to avoid hitting my head when I used the microwave. Lastly, this unit isn't incredibly noisy but you can 100% hear footsteps from other people in the other units going up and down the stairs. There is also noise through the windows since it faces the kitchen of the restaurant in the front building.
Overall, none of these complaints were major issues, especially if you won't be inside the Airbnb much. I would book with this host again. I think next time I'll stay in one of the other units for a little change.
