Overall, our stay was fine. The other reviews are correct in their warnings of the stairs, they are certainly not the safest but I wouldn’t say it affected us too much. Our check in process, however, was made oddly complicated, with the host not sending clear instructions despite saying that he would a few days prior to our arrival. It seemed like other people did not have this experience though, so we may have just been an exception. The room itself worked well, the smart locks were nice and helped with feelings of privacy. Perfect for two people with a comfy bed, air conditioning, and nice TV. We did not have an issue with sharing the apartment with other people and the bathroom and toilet room worked fine. The highlight is most definitely the location. It’s a great part of town with so many places to eat and go out, and it’s a very quick walk to the subway and times square. Definitely just a place to crash for a few nights.
