Pros about this apartment: Great host communication and quick response times. Good location and accessibility to Subway stops, being able to walk places on-foot, good proximity to restaurants, etc.
Cons: There is a very loud knocking noise that comes through the metal pipes that sounds like a metal bat banging on it. It did this 3-4x during the night that awakened us like a firefighter getting an emergency call. Even the deepest of sleepers could not sleep through this; it is disruptive throughout the night. The shower and hot water are mediocre, you don't really know what you might get. Also, needs extra pillows/towels.
