Pros: The space was simple, and modern with amazing light coming into the rooms, the balcony was lovely and not too far from the metro (about 45 mins to an hour from Manhattan). This was a functional place to stay, good value for New York and would work fine if you are planning on being out and about sightseeing most of the time.
Cons: communication was slow, the check-in procedure was not immediately straightforward (but I think this was just a mistake for my visit, no one else seemed to have a problem finding the key) and when I tried to message regarding this it was ignored. Towels were stained and floors were dirty in the bedroom, the room was dusty. The listing notes a dedicated workspace - this does not exist, and was something I needed for my stay. The only place where there was a table and chair was on the balcony which was nice but not useful for zoom meetings/working from home. I booked the Mars room and was not given that so be warned if you book that the pictures are not the equivalent room. The room given was fine but was smaller than pictured and did not have a desk. When I messaged about this I was told that there is a desk downstairs - which was a flat pack desk in the hallway - I am not sure if the host expected me to put it together myself but either way it was not useful to me as the guest! There was no toilet paper or hand soap so I had to go out and buy that upon arrival.
All in all it was fine and for New York prices relatively cheap, but a lack of cleaning and communication meant that this was not the most straightforward stay.
