The place is okay, very old building not pictured in the pictures. Bathroom could have been a little cleaner. Great distance from subway and coffee shops. Heater got really hot in the morning, we had to open the windows to get some fresh air.
Host is very responsive. However, we were very disappointed when our flight got canceled and we couldn’t get to NY due to a winter storm and he was not very understanding.
We asked to change the reservation date to the following weekend (since ALL flights to NY got cancelled and even if we wanted we couldn’t fly in) but the host didn’t agree with it.
We had to make a whole new reservation and pay it in full, and he was only willing to refund 50% of the amount we had paid before. We respect refunds policies and never asked for a refund, we just expected he could accommodate us on a different date as we had no choice and the flight cancelation was out of our control. His response was “Travel insurance may be helpful next time?”.
The room is fine, nothing wrong with it. But we had an okay experience with the place and would probably not stay there again.
