As is normal in New York, street-level apartment has noise from the street, and the hallway is dirty. The room itself is fine, but the description says a new mattress and it's actually just a pad on a box spring. There is no bed frame to keep out pests, a problem when the description admits there are mice. The shower drain was clogged (not by me). Host expects guests to take out the trash. Despite these issues, the price is low so not the worst rating.
