We stayed here for 7 days and I would describe the place as a dingy basement apartment that is decent for the price you are paying. Unfortunately, the cleanliness of the shower was unsatisfactory. We regularly stay in cheap motels while traveling. We frequently go camping and shower in public gyms/public restrooms, however we have never seen a bathroom like this. The picture's of the bathroom on airbnb looked much cleaner.

The shower tub and walls contained yellow and orange stains throughout as well as mold. The shower curtain had stains, mildew and was slimy. The shower head was not working properly. The shower drain was clogged. We also found a couple of cockroaches in the bathroom and our bedroom, but that may be expected in a New York City basement.

Aside from the bathtub, the rest of the apartment was okay and the bed was comfortable. The location was pretty close to public transportation and food. Edward is also very nice and accommodated our crazy check-in/check-out times. He does not live in the apartment, but we didn't have problems reaching him. We would stay here again if the bathroom can be fixed/cleaned.
