The room is in a old 3-bedroom apartment complex near Chinatown.
One that that really bothered us us that sometimes the front door to the apartment complex is left ajar so it was open to anyone who happens to walk by and opens the door (there is also a gate, but the gate has no knob so you just push it to open it). The host also mentioned that it's normal for him to leave his apartment door unlocked so be sure to lock your room door before you depart for your day's adventure.
I would say 90% of the room matched the pictures, but just beware that the room is much much older than it looks in the photos and the roof has a leakage issue that has a cup-like object that is connected to a tube running down to catch the water. For some reason the radiator was turned on to the max, and our bedroom felt like an oven. We woke up in the middle of the night sweating and had to open a window. we messaged Jack and he was able to let us know how to shut it.
The second bedroom is also rented out for Airbnb and I wished I was notified of that first before choosing to stay here. I knew the apartment was shared, but I assumed it was shared with the live-in host and not another Airbnb guest. I think the third bedroom is where the live-in host stays at.
Jack was very responsive to all my questions. Overall, it is worth it for the location and price, but I don't think I would stay here again next year when I'm in NYC again because of the issues I mentioned above.
