I had an uneven stay at this apt.
The pros are the location (great), having out door space, and the apt was clean.
The cons started with our arrival. We flew in from CA and I told the host I expected to arrive by 7pm. We got to the apt at 6:30 but no one answered the buzzer. When I called the phone number I was given , it forwarded to a full mailbox that would not take a message. We were finally let in by a nice women who seemed to be finishing up cleaning the apartment. She gave us a set of keys and that was it. We never saw or heard from the apt manager.
The apartment itself needs some work-peeling paint, insecure back door that is very difficult to lock and is very weather beaten (there is a second metal grate door), the outdoor space has been neglected a long time-the fence is held up by a tree branch and a piece of wood, pieces of wood and pavers are strewn about. There are only 2 usable electrical outlets.
Cosmetic problems also need to be addressed: there are no shades on the window or the door. This has been mentioned by others who have stayed here. There is no where to put your clothes-this has also been mentioned by others. The whimsical stuffed animals should go and a dresser should be provided. There are no mirrors in the apt except in the bathroom. No microwave.
Compared to the other apartments I have stayed in in ny, the supplies given in this space was very minimal. Nothing in the pantry ( not even salt),
No bathroom supplies except one bar of soap.
Only one set of keys.
Again, the location is great-but the host should try harder to make this small space worth the price.
