Our assigned apartament had no power when we arrived, but the host was very prompt in responding and imediatily moved us to another apartament, exactly the same as the first.
The apartment is the same as in the pictures so no bad surprises there.
It’s a small unit, but that’s to be expected in NYC.
It’s fully furnished with all the usual appliances the only thing we missed is a dishwasher.
The also has no elevator but again not uncommon in NYC.
The only very bad experience was that for the last 15 days of our month-long stay we had to live with construction in the apartment next to ours. It was constant noise, loud music and loud talking from 8:30 to 5pm. We dont know how long it will continue but the host should have at least warned us about the scheduled construction and ordered his workers to keep a more respecful enviroment for his neighbors and tenants (We know construction is under his control because the work permit also lists the apartment we were in.)
This was particularly distressing as I worked from home and had to live with the constant noise that seemed to come from our own apartment it was so loud and close. It made for a terrible experience. So fair warning to potential tenants, at least for the time being.
