The room was a hotel room, so you do pay extra taxes by booking through Airbnb - for us, it was about $35 so not bad at all. They also place a $100 security deposit for the duration of your stay. Check-in was super easy, and they'll hold your bags at the front desk if you get there before the room is ready. The hotel was very clean and offered a 24/7 gym and rooftop bar.
The hallways were super stuffy and small, but the hotel room AC was great! The room itself was a bit small save for the beds, which were both queen size in our room. The bathroom was also small. But there was enough space for the two of us to navigate. We used the fridge and microwave frequently. There was plenty of storage space, including a closet. You do have to take out your own trash and ask for bags or towels at the front desk if you book through Airbnb, but we didn't have any trouble.
The location of the room was super convenient, right next to Koreatown and the Empire State Building and a short walk away from the Flatiron District. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend the room for its price!
