Location: Truly true to what she said. It’s about a six to eight minute walk to times square depending on how far you are walking. Area was safe to me. There’s a grocery store next door which was perfect!
Building: It has no elevator, but she also let you know in the description. I had a friend help take my luggage up so, if you don’t have one to do so and can’t lift heavy stuff don’t pack heavy. It’s the last floor and leads to the rooftop which gives a nice view! You can hang out with friends or by yourself there! You get your own keys so you move at your pace.
Host: She kept to herself and that worked perfectly for me. As I didn’t have to have small talk. The one time we hung out together though, she was a blast! She’s polite and understands space. You basically feel like you have an apartment you share with a roommate whom you like, though you’re not close to each other. Which was perfect for me!
I only had one issue which I addressed in a private message to the host (It’s more a New York issue and not a her issue). I am not putting it here as from the little I got to know her, I’d like to believe she’ll take care of it if she can. So no worries there.
There’s an AC and mini fridge in the room.
Overall it was clean.
