The stay was acceptable and affordable, but I would not recommend staying here if you are looking to get some rest.
Pros:
-Location: Close to the subway. Delicious Jamaican and Carribean restaurants in the area.
-Responsive hosts: Chaim was responsive to messages.
-Easy check-in and check-out process.
Cons:
-Dirty place: The pots/pans/utensils were dirty and had food from previous guests crusted on so do not expect to do any cooking even though there is a kitchen. There was also no dish soap or sponge so it calls into question how (and whether) previous guests "cleaned" the things they used. There was also a dirty sock on the closet floor of one of the bedrooms that must have been left behind by a previous guest. When we removed the linens before check-out, we saw a lot of old stains on the beds that grossed us out.
-Extremely thin walls and floors: You can hear everything on the second floor, which is also rented out to traveling guests. Your mileage may vary, but the people staying above us were incredibly noisy throughout the night (beyond normal city levels) and we were unable to get a good night sleep.
-Bare minimum: Second bathroom was barely useable because it is tiny (even by New York standards). No extra toilet paper. No paper towels. Nearly empty hand soap bottles. Shampoo but no body wash. Just a heads up to bring/buy stuff if you plan on staying here.
