Amazing deal and huge apartment — pictures don’t do it justice! Only one thing bothered me — I saw a rat (or mouse?) on my way upstairs one night…
That being said the place is immaculate, so I cannot blame the host for that experience.
It’s New York, so those things are as common as house cats (some as big as them too, haha). If that is too much to process (the possibility of maybe seeing one on your way upstairs), then consider a hotel.
I’m from Texas, so it was a culture shock, but the location, building, and apartment are all STUNNING. I walked to Saks, so it’s definitely in a nice location.
You can’t really control what runs inside when a door is ajar (no matter how clean) and I’m sure this is a rare encounter given the (lovely) condition of the building/unit.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t stay the whole time (went to a hotel). I didn’t ask for a refund and didn’t inform the host — I don’t hold anything against them. They’re wonderful hosts, but I had to share that info.
