My stay was great overall. I have to admit, it turned out to be better than I expected. It was mostly cuz I had great roommates. There were three big issues during my stay. First was the temperature being quite hot during the summer and u will have to pay an extra sum to rent an AC or a fan. Secondly, I had numerous encounters with small cockroaches around the house and in my room and my roommates had the same issue so the entire place needs pest control without question. Thirdly, the house lacks basic amenities like linens and toilet paper among other things which you will have to bring your own. That being said, the place itself has lots of space in both the living area and the kitchen. The kitchen is well equipped and I really appreciate the mini refrigerator I had in my room. Even in a house full of six people there was room to spare in the main refrigerator in the kitchen. The host would also send someone every week to take out the trash and to clean around where needed. Whenever i saw them I used the opportunity to ask for anything I needed around the house and they were all quite helpful. Also, I found the location to be very convenient since everything I needed like laundromats, public transport, pharmacies and Amazon lockers were all only a few steps away. Overall, this place has great potential for the price and even in its current state u will have a comfortable stay and I can recommend this place for anyone who is coming to visit New York and don’t want to deal with crazy prices in manhattan and still be able to get the job done. Thanks for having me
