The place was in good central location and was situated close to a subway which made travelling around New York City simple. However, there were several issues that affected our stay such as finding several cockroaches around the apartment. Also, upon opening the door on the first day of arriving to the Airbnb we noticed strong gas smell indicating that there was a gas leak. We were later informed that if we had the used the oven, which had the gas leak it could have exploded with potentially deadly consequences. Once the host was informed of this and fixed the oven, we were nevertheless dismissed as having been too fearful despite having paperwork from the national grid confirming the issue.
Overall, the host was quite cold and passive aggressive when we asked simple queries. There were also other issues that other reviewers have mentioned such as the TV being ancient and not having any instructions , and the large bedroom not having a door.
