We’ve been very cold all week in the flat and on some of the coldest days and nights New-York has known in the past few years. Not ideal when you’re paying so much money for the place.
It wasn’t clean either, we found nail bits on the floor, the bathroom corners were full of black dust and hairs, some of the towels smelled of damp and the corridors stunk of smoke which ended up stinking the flat up at some point. Ironic to be paying a cleaning fee and being asked to “leave the space spotless and tidy as found it” when it was that dirty.
And to none of the host fault for sure but, the neighbours weren’t “respecting the silence and well being of the neighbours” from 10pm to 10am. From them stomping the floor until late at night to their dog howling to death from 4:00a and them being loud in bed early morning for hours, it was not “very quiet to ensure you a good rest”.
Not going to mention there were at least ten fire trucks in front of the building one day because there was a fire next door, and a flood in our corridor on the day we left.
Anyways, you do get a flat right in the middle of Manhattan and next door to Time Square, but this is not “a cosy gem”, not to anyone’s standards.
