The building is so cool! We arrived late and not in a group as planned because of travel delays, and the host was helpful and accommodating with check in. He was responsive whenever we reached out through the whole trip.
There were little things that We thought would be there like more glasses and wash cloths. But there is PLENTY Of space for a larger group and the view from the back porch is nice.
This is not a place to stay if you can’t manage steps. The main entrance is on the main floor, but the main floor is up 15 steps and once you enter the apartment most bedrooms ( all bedrooms for couples) are upstairs.
There have been mixed reviews on here about the cleanliness of the place and I tend to agree that it is a bit rundown. The kitchen, bathroom, sheets were clean, however.
The biggest problem for our group ( and certainly not the fault or responsibility of the host) was the location and accessibility to the other boroughs. No subway made it difficult and there was limited Uber Lyft and Taxi especially late. And then it was over 100$ to get from Manhattan to the house. We found it cheaper to get to the fairy. Then get transportation to the house once we got in Staten Island.
Overall it is a safe place with restaurants shops in walking distance and a fine place if your plan is to be out and about a lot.
