Yonathan was responsive to messages, gave some great advice on local things to do, was apologetic for the problems we encountered and the bed was comfy . Location is a very short walk to the subway into Manhattan (takes about 30-35 mins to times square). There is a few cafes and shops nearby, a Mcdonalds a short walk and a few bars in fairly close proximity too.
The room unfortunately was not up to our expectations and we highlighted these to the host as soon as possible but it kind of spoilt the stay. Unfortunately, the room just was not as clean as we would have expected. We arrived to dusty floor, some food scraps on the floor and a used wet towel on the shelf. The bathroom was not overly clean either. Given that this was advertised as a beautiful huge room we felt that certainly was not the case. We highlighted the problems and Yonothan responded promptly - he apologised and offered for his neighbour to check the room as he was away. They did, but nothing much changed. Perhaps it was a one off mistake but we chose this room at almost double the price of another because it looked great - that was not to be. The roof terrace is not as pictured - there is not really anywhere to sit and it is a bit of an unkempt area. I have never left a negative review but this stay was not up to standard and we were disappointed.
