I must say we were disappointed with our stay at this place.
My wife, our 8 year old son and I visited NYC the fist time and we all were beyond excited about our trip. We spent hours looking for the best match for our needs to stay, not much but a great location, safe and quiet neighborhood, clean flat with minimalist kitchen for our basic needs.
First of all, we've arrived with the understanding that this place was small but surprised to see that how much everything was old and dirty. The building's trash was kept in side the main front entry where you can not only smell it but also witnessed the pest problems around it! The location of the building was very good, but neighborhood was very noisy. There was a construction next door which started around 7:00 am every morning. While the host was responsive and helpful with all our questions prior to our check in but failed mention that there was NO elevator in the building. We had to carry our luggage to 4th floor. This should have been included in the add.
The carpet in the living room looked old and dirty, bathroom ceiling has some type of suspicious stains, shower water took several minutes to heat up. But, the biggest problem hit us on the 3rd night when we lost the power in the flat and had to check in to a hotel after very long day in town. The host was trying to be helpful and arranged a hotel, the whole situation was a mess. We were very tired, but had to pack again and moved to a hotel in the middle of the night with a eight year old. On top of everything, we were surprised to see the extra $45 on the bill during the check out from the hotel! I must say the whole experience left a bitter taste in our mouth. It was our first experience with Airbnb, but, unfortunately a disappointing one!
