This place is OK. It’s in a neighbourhood that’s on the cusp of gentrification, which hasn’t quite happened yet, and is about a 10 minute walk, perhaps slightly less, to two subway stations. Lower Manhattan is about 30 mins away.
The photos are representative though in my mind it appears more bright and airy then my summer experience here. The kitchen is internal, as it’s between the living room and the bedroom, so there’s no natural light. The decor is a bit tired, and the sheets made of polyester.
Owen seems like a good guy, and his communication was very speedy. My main feeling of being let down was due to the description. It’s not modern, nor is it a retreat. It’s absolutely fine as a bed for a night, but I stayed here for a month and it felt less than homely and needs a bit of an update.
