I will give this place a 5 star rating because I know this is someone’s livelihood but if I could make a few suggestions, it would help them as well as their next guest.
First: I came in July and it was HOT and humid , the one blanket they provide is made out of a weird material that feels wet in humidity. The blanket made me feel wet and gross. I wish there had been more blanket options or like a single cotton sheet but that was the only option. so I slept without a blanket during the stay but because it was so humid and hot, the air conditioning unit was on and it was so cold 😭 but the sheet still made me feel wet. It felt like a nightmare.
Next: they provide like 3 towels and they’re so little, like not even big enough for a toddler. I wanted to be wrapped in the towel but it only covered like 1/4 of my body. Would love it if they could provide full size towels.
3rd: they say they pay for cleaning service but they must not inspect it when they’re done because it was dirty :( the floors were so gross, there were dust bunnies everywhere and full hair balls near the bed. I sat on their little carpet to do my make up on the floor and that carpet was filthy 😭 I would advice to please stick it in the washer and dryer for each new person that checks in.
Now the apartment itself was put together, nothing was out of place, it was organized. I think think it was lightly semi-cleaned, like just enough to pass but not enough to where I felt like it was clean for a guest.
I’ve been putting off this review for a few weeks because I felt so bad writing it :( I have never wanted or tried to write a bad review but I hope and pray that these hosts take in my considerations and improve it 🥺
Lastly: this is just for the customers. DO NOT stay here if you are going to be hanging out in nyc downtown. I thought nyc was small enough to where it wouldn’t matter where I stayed. WRONG. this place is so far from everything. I barely got to do anything in nyc because it was a 2 hour commute to get anywhere and a 2 hour commute to get back. It SUCKEDDDD. I wouldn’t get home till 4 am most days because of the commute. Especially if you’re learning the subway and bus system like I was, it felt like a nightmare. Next time I’m making sure I stay in Brooklyn or in the city so I could do way more.
Other than that, the place was ok. If you’re just coming so you can stay in queens, then stay here. But if you’re wanting to see New York City, do not stay here.
