The positives here are significant. You're getting great value; I don't think you could get any other place this big, this close to the major tourist attractions of Manhattan, for this much money. The apartment is clean and tidy, and communication with the host was clear and efficient. The things to keep in mind are, first, that it's not at all fancy, and, second, as other reviews have mentioned, it's very noisy (the earplugs, which were thoughtfully provided, were an absolute necessity). If you want to be close to Hudson Yards, Times Square, and Broadway, this could be a very good find for you.
