There were both good things and bad things about my experience with this place. At first Lorena seemed very responsive and helpful and sent a lot of helpful instructions which was really nice to have when you travel to a new city and her place had some cute small touches in the common area oh and there’s an alexa which helps for playing music! The things I didn’t expect and threw me off:
We were getting there a bit sooner on our checkin day and I asked her the night before if I can drop my luggages 1-2 hours sooner and she said since no one booked the place that night I can check in as early in the morning so we took our heavy luggages there under the rain and the access code she gave me wasn’t working because she forgot to grant me early access and she didn’t answer any of my calls or texts until 6 hours after my check in!! Yes she didn’t have to do make me a favor but when your host tells you something you want to count on them! So we ended up wandering around under the rain for 2 hours in Manhattan with our heavy luggages! Anyways after I got the key I had to climb four floors to get to the apt (if you come to this place don’t bring anything more than a backpack) and the apartment looked much much smaller than the photos. But the worst part of my stay was sleeping in the bed. The pillow and the blankets were smelling musty! So we had to wear our jackets and use our towels to sleep through the night! Bottom line I won’t come back.
