I stayed at Ofer’s apartment 1 month.
Pros:
Top location! Very central, close to the best shopping streets in soho, 2min far from the F line that brings you everywhere in Manhattan and Brooklyn.
Spotless clean. The cleanest apt I ever rented in my life.
Kitchen fully equipped.
Very kind and helpful host. Quick and effective communication. I never felt alone in facing problems. He even allowed me a later check out.
Cons:
Terribly noisy on Friday and Saturday night. I couldn’t sleep until 4 in the morning
Hairdryer wasn’t working upon arrival. (I bought a new one and Ofer promptly refunded me the expenses ).
The lamp wasn’t working but it wasn’t replaced.
Centralized heating. This means that you cannot switch it on if it snows in November, like this year (there was an additional electric heating that I used) nor switch it off in the night (I hate when it is too hot in the night).
According to my standards, the apt is not ‘cozy’, but very basic. But maybe this is Manhattan standard quality.
