Ok- the location in midtown is fantastic. Not a far walk or Uber ride to most of the high points in NYC. Great food right around the corner on Broadway, 32nd, or 5th Ave. price is great, yes.
This apartment is nicely appointed and I have to give the host props for doing what seems to be a nice job with the unit. The rest of the building looks like it could be totally hit or miss and each unit individually seems to be buyer beware.
Note: what you see in the photos is EXACTLY what’s there. 3 beds all fit/crammed into a tiny room with a suspiciously noisy spiral staircase leading straight up into the loft. The futon up there is tight, so expect to only fit some kids into it. I doubt 8 adults could actually fit in here.
One window at the top of the stairs with an A/C unit eventually saved our lives by the time the unit had cooled down. It’s entirely possible to feel claustrophobic in here if you expect to stay for any length of time.
We were equipped with 1.5 rolls of toilet paper for the weeklong stay of our 7 (not nearly enough and they done supply more) and we have to leverage grocery bags and whatever we could find once the first 2 trash bags were used. Also, the shower towels are glorified hand towels, so there are a few disappointments. WiFi is paid per day, though seemed solid once it was working.
If you’re looking to make a “memory” in NYC and don’t really care about where you stay, this is a fine place. But it’s not Great, if you’re looking to spend time hanging around the place with guests and family.
