The big issue remains unresolved. The central bathroom has bathroom tile leaking into the wall. There is a very, very strong mold odor coming from black mold.
When we arrived, there was one piece of furniture other than the 4 uncomfortable kitchen chairs.
The sofa was very shabby and worn.
The kitchen is not by any standard a gourmet kitchen. Tiny range, no coffee maker, no toaster and marginal kitchen tools.
While we had planned to use the kitchen at least one night, the smell made using the common area impossible.
We were forced to leave all the windows open in order to not get sick from the smell. 32degrees F outside meant the place was freezing all the time.
As a result, we spent less time in the room when we would have come back in the afternoon for some quiet time or naps (an NYC gastro-tour requirement.)
On the up side, beds were quite comfortable. The staff are awesome, the location is first rate.
If host takes care of us on the mold issue, we may come back..
