First, a note about management - the people were great. Super responsive and really tried to help - I'm 7 months pregnant and the site didn't say that this was a third floor walk-up, so they sent someone to help carry my bags up. Generally whatever I needed they responded right away and tried to help when they could.
Now, the apartment. The best way to describe it is this is the studio you get when you graduate from college, get your first job not in finance, and don't want to have roommates. The apartment is small. The shower is very small (i.e., I barely fit at 7 months pregnant). The kitchen is tiny. They did somehow fit everything you'd need into the apartment - there's some kitchenware underneath the sink, a kettle, utensils, iron, hair dryer, heater. It's just quite small and somewhat rundown. The sheets had some tears in them. The windows don't stay open. The shower tiles have some mold on them.
Few things to note about the building not clear from the listing - it is a third floor walk-up. Probably not a big deal for most but again, 7 months pregnant. The location that's listed is not the location of the building but rather their office - the location of the building is on 39th and 6th. So it's in midtown, not the most charming area, but it's very central and just a block away from Bryant Park, which is lovely. Also the apartment windows face an inner courtyard, so the view isn't attractive, but it is fairly quiet, which is hard to achieve in midtown. Also people in the building were smoking - I could smell it, and there was a cigarette bud on the downstairs landing. I don't know if those tenants are permanent, but just to note.
So, for the price it's pretty decent value and probably still bigger than most hotel rooms you'd get, especially if you want some place to warm your tea and keep your yogurt. But don't expect luxury.
