It's what it says in the tin. An alcove in the living of a typical 1br walkup. The pros: 1) it's a shared apartment which is in compliance with laws and the spirit of Airbnb. 2)The bathroom is really clean, and the rest, including the building (stairs etc) is reasonably clean and much better than the average NYC walk-up, that tend to be rather smelly and not well kept. 3) location. 4) self check in and communications. These are the essentials. The rest, obviously it's commensurate to cost. It's small and lived in, which, if you just need to sleep and bathe, is just fine. Decor is cute and quirky, if you care about such things, and the screening a little filmsy and rickety, yet much better than some things I've seen.
