Pros: 1) great location, 2) responsive host, 3) very clean apartment, 4) lots of little helpful things around the apartment (extra towels, basic toiletries, etc)

Cons: 1) bathroom/shower are tiny and you have to go through the common kitchen to use the shower 2) area is loud and you can hear every step from anyone staying in the unit above 3) On the second or third day of my stay, the toilet stopped working. Specifically, the chain kept falling off the lever in the "upper deck" and would prop open the chamber, preventing it from filling up. When I reattached the chain and let the bottom valve of the chamber close, the water would not stop filling the upper tank and it would start to overflow. There could have been a lot of water damage had I not propped open the valve at the bottom of the upper chamber. Seith was very responsive to my request to fix the toilet, and claimed to have done so within 3-4 hours of my request. Still either the chain would keep falling off and/or the chamber wouldn't stop filling. I didn't bother asking Seith to fix it again since I was only staying there one more day.

I am self-employed and was looking for a place to stay on the cheap while in town for work. All I needed was a bed and a bathroom. The noises above and outside made it hard to sleep (not really Seith's fault; I should have known what I was getting into staying in a pre-war East Village apt). However the lack of working toilet was unacceptable. I'm sure Seith is a good host, but it's time to pay up for a new john, sir.
