NYC was wonderful, but this apartment was a disappointment. Very dark in the apartment since it faces inwards, the windows barely open and curtains broken, as with many things in the apartment. Kitchen is practically unusable and very bare. We stay in Airbnb's all the time, most of them are tiny but this was the most unusable and bare kitchen to date. The host's solution to this was "we should eat all our meals outside since we are in NYC and there are so many wonderful restaurants". Building is in shambles, smells on every floor, dirty and old in desperate need of renovation (which was ongoing while we stayed). Overall, this place was not a good value, quite over-priced for what it offered.
