Honestly one of the worst experiences ever. If the host only lets make reservations of 30 nights should make the kitchen available as well. No one stays 1 month in a place without being able to even heat water for tea or wash a fruit. For several times I wanted to make noodles and had to go upstairs to the bathroom because I didn't have a kitchen to do it with water. For me it is ridiculous bookings of 30 nights without access to kitchen. If it was 1 week it would make sense because most tourists prefer to eat out while walking. 30 days is too much. The stairs of the house are very old and so they make a lot of noise when someone goes up or down. I'd always wake up at 6:00 in the morning with someone coming down the stairs. At no time is this written in the ad. The room had neither blinds nor curtains that cut the light. After much insistence the host gave us a darker curtains but that did not cover the light completely. When we made these complaints to Airbnb and asked them to relocate us as soon as they went to talk to the host she came to tell me that if I wasn't comfortable or I canceled or she would cancel. As I explained to her I wouldn't cancel until Airbnb got a new place, not least because that month was paid and my budget wouldn't allow me to rent something last minute. Still she said she was going to cancel. Until Airbnb said that if she were the cancelling, she'd have to return the full amount, even for the nights we used, and then she went back. If you want to know New York, don't stay there. It always took 1 hour or up to 2 hours at night to get into Manhattan
