Check in perfect. No issues.
Upon getting into the apartment we immediately saw a big roach that popped up from the wall on the ground (not only that time but also two days later in the bathroom from the heater); right after we went into the bedroom and there were many hairs on the blankets and pillows. Also the sofas were stained.
In the bathroom there’s a sign that invite guests to throw toilet paper in the trash box instead of in the WC. The shower head is not fixed properly. Sometimes it breaks off.
Finally, the first and second day, the little space before entering was completely full of rain water and it was flooding out.
The host, after bringing up all the mentioned issues, didn’t try to figured it out immediately but rather invited us to look for another accommodation if we were feeling not comfortable, by reimbursing us the whole fee. To us, that was quite weird, considering that we were in NY for vacations for 5 days.
The host let us leave the baggages for a later pick up the last day, that was really kind.
Bed is comfortable. Snacks, juices, milk, coffee are available to be taken.
Position is half an hour from downtown Manhattan with C line that’s 10mins walking from the apartment. Around 45/50 mins from midtown.
