Positives - great location for exploring the city, spacious apartment for NYC. We arrived late (2am) due to a cancelled flight and were accommodated with a lockbox which was greatly appreciated.
Negatives - Overall we felt the apt was misrepresented and overpriced (our 3rd airbnb in NYC over the past year, so we get NYC pricing). Busy avenue NOT a side street as shown. Listed as a duplex, in actuality a 2 story walkup apartment (fine for us, but maybe not others).
The BIG issue - condition of the apartment. The pictures appeared staged as in reality *most* of the furnishing are different (albeit similar). The bathrooms need addressing (mold in shower, overall lack of cleanliness). Upstairs mattress on the floor, no bed as pictured. The brick wall is actually very shoddy wallpaper, no fireplace…etc. Low number of poor quality towels.
Overall we felt this airbnb was mis-advertised and were very disappointed. We frequent airbnbs and sadly this our first negative review.
