James has been a very easy going, kind and easy to reach host, which is always much appreciated.
Pros:
- apartment is true to pictures, it’s actually bigger than we thought . It’s very spacious and well equipped (toaster, coffee machine, kettle, hair dryer, iron…) making it perfect for a short stay and to “live like a local”
- it’s very quiet for NYC as it doesn’t give out on the street. There’s no noise at night
- comfortable bedding, although mattress on the soft side
- price is very fair
Cons:
- The AC is way too noisy, which means it can’t be turned on at night. The nights were too hot even with a window open. It would just be a matter of installing a new one. This is obviously only an issue during the summer.
- The bed is too small for a couple, it’s not even 140cm? At least it doesn’t feel like it. Definitely not adequate for a couple, especially if they’re a bit larger. The bedroom is large enough to fit a Queen, that + new AC would make this stay perfect!
