Pros:
-The host is very prompt in responding
-Beds are very comfortable
-Clean and looks like the pictures
-no problems with noise inside or out
-one of the cheaper places i found to stay! I always felt safe but wouldn't venture out late night with just myself and my 13 year old daughter.
-big nice tv with cable/satellite Wi-Fi was reliable and fast
Cons:
-Some instructions weren't clear: there's a dishwasher but no detergent? Does that means its broken like the big fridge?
-pack your own washcloths. Lol. Towels and handtowels were provided
-Some of the outlets didnt seem to work
-shampoo was provided as well as handsoap but the body wash in the shower was empty (and you dont have a washcloth anyways)
-there was a french press (hallelujah) but no coffee or creamer. There were a few foodstuffs left in the cabinets from previous guests it seems, but nothing to make a meal with. And a wee little trashcan. Lol.
-far from the main sights of NYC but the subway was a few blocks away. The local eating options were not appealling. There is a grocery store a block or so away that was fine. Also a 7-11 but we didnt visit it.
-the bedding and linens looked very clean but didnt smell super fresh? Almost like they'd just come from the store.
-no space in the bathroom to put anything and no hooks to hang up your clothes.
Honestly i would probably stay there again, but I also like to know exactly what i getting. I need to get groceries before i come? No problem. I would have adjusted my itenerary for that. Pack a loofa? Sure thing! What do i need to do before i leave? Do i need to wash the dishes? (I did). If you like to be spoiled as a guest you may not like it, but if you're cool with saving some $ in exchange for a more Spartan experience you'll love it.
So yes, stay there. Plan on lugging at least breakfast stuff up there, plan on a 12 minute walk to the subway for a 20 minute ride to the touristy stuff, pack your own washcloths, and have a good visit!
