This apartment is expensive for what it is. It's an old railroad-style apartment with no direct sunlight so it's dark most of the time. The furniture is cheap, which was disappointing. There is a strong smell of gas in the kitchen area which was not addressed by the host team for almost two weeks, I experienced headaches and fatigue after a few days. The quality of the apartment and the building was worse than I expected overall. The host can probably get away charging that rent level because of the demand in NYC but it's certainly way too high of a premium to pay for the value.
