I chose this host because of the number of positive feedback it had. The stay was overall good but way lower than the expectations:
the apartment is in the basement and you have to walk next to huge smelly dumpsters to get to the entrance. Being a basement there are almost no windows.
The house was clean but there were cockroaches. It is a 3 bedroom but is was being shared with 3 other people, a couple on airbnb and another the building custodian This guy was actually listening to the radio all the time and wouldn't lower the volume even if asked. Edward has been really nice and helpful but I only saw him on the first day.
It's a OK place for NYC standards but just don't get fooled by all the positive feedback.
