The apartment did not live up to the photos which show a much more pristine place. The walls show wear and tear with cracks and paint peeling. This isn't to say that we didn't enjoy our stay overall- thankfully the location was ideal and the restaurant selection was great (not to mention I saw Gary Dourdan a street over!), but I really thought I was paying for a truly impeccable space.
The bathtub drain was clogged, but hopefully this will prompt some action so the next guest doesn't have to deal with water pooling. The water temperature was rather volatile, but holding the showerhead while bathing so you can point it away if it decides to go cold or hot is a workaround.
To be honest, I have been rather disappointed with the last two Airbnbs I got in NYC (both in the higher price range), but that may just be what one can expect from this city.
