Overall, I do not recommend this stay. I have stayed in other places in midtown for the same price that were better. It definitely has the bare minimum on essentials. The Wi-Fi is slow, so I don’t recommend for working from home or streaming anything. The bathroom needs updates. The tub is completely rusted out on the bottom because it always has standing water. The sink is also too small to even wash your face in. The bed is comfortable, but the furniture and dishes and towels are all second-hand.
It’s also odd that the host requires an additional credit check and background check, which means additional paperwork, when Airbnb already does background checks, and a credit check isn’t necessary when we pay directly upon booking.
