My 2 sisters (26 & 21) and I (28) rented this apartment for 9 consecutive nights in December 2019/January 2020. Throughout our stay, we (3 people) shared one small bedroom as well as a bathroom (which was only accessible through our bedroom).
Our bedroom was lockable (which was important as a second bedroom in the apartment was continuously rented out to other customers). Although the one bedroom was shared was rented out to 3 people, I find it important to mention that it is not big enough to accommodate 3 people (safely). What I mean by this is that the queen sized bed was shared by 2 people and the third person slept on a fold out mattress on the floor. Now, if the room is big enough this would be perfectly fine and not a problem at all, however, the room was not big enough to accommodate 1 bed and a fold out mattress + the furniture (small chest of drawers + small table/desk). The only way to unfold the mattress was to place it between the table and the door – as soon as this was done (every evening) the door could no longer be opened (no person could leave (i.e. in case of an emergency) without first taking the sheets and blankets off of the mattress and folding it back up (which had to be done every morning in order to be able to maneuver throughout the room, exit, or open suitcases on the floor). Therefore, I would consider placing a limit of 2 people on the amount of people staying in this one room at a time – i.e. the room within the apartment should not be rented out to more than 2 people at a time.
Moreover, my sister noticed mold within the shower as well as the overall cleanliness of the shower, bedroom, and apartment overall was sufficient but not great.
The Wi-Fi connection was reliable and available throughout the apartment. The kitchen and living room areas were spacious and allowed us to cook and store food as well as provided us with plenty of room to eat it in the living room area (that included a dining set).
The location was great (about 5 minute walk/2 blocs to the nearest subway station) and relatively quiet given that it is located in NYC.
The instructions provided by our host were detailed and allowed us to find & enter the apartment without delay.
