My boyfriend and I were staying at David’s appt. from May 16th until May 23rd, 2015, it was our first trip to NY. The initial communication with David, concerning our request, the booking as well as after arriving worked out very well. On site, Jason, a friend of David, was patiently waiting for us, as we arrived much later than expected (due to the NY traffic, Taxi or Shuttle is not recommanded...!). Jason welcomed us friendly and handed out the keys with some useful information about restaurants, cafés, etc. in the neighbourhood, which we highly appreciated. Fresh towels and a bunch of flowers were ready for us.

As Europeans, we are used to quite a high standard of facilities and furnitures and maybe therefore a bit spoiled. Thats for sure one reason, why we were not really happy with the appartment (except it’s great location near the Subway). The flat is quite dark (it has almost no daylight at all), the backyard looks like a garbage dump, the sleeping room opens onto the busy 9th Street and therefore it is really loud all the time (of course, it’s not unusual in the center of East Village). Kitchen and bathroom facilities are really old and worn down, which wouldn’t have bothered us if it were at less clean and proper (dust and black hairs of the former lodger could be found on the kitchen floor, bathroom floor and kitchen facilities). That’s why we really don’t justify the cleaning costs of CHF 49.-.

The night before our departure, we asked, whether we could leave our baggage until the early afternoon (as our flight left only at 6pm). Jason‘s response took quite a while but was positive which we appreciated a lot.
