This apartment works very well as a landing place if you are doing Stuff in Manhattan. It is comfortable and easy to stay in. It was very clean (even the fridge and bathroom) and simple. It is walking to most of Hell’s Kitchen and Times Square.
We were three people – and two bedrooms were great. I think four people/two couples might find it a bit cramped unless you were used to sharing a bathroom among 4.
The kitchen was one of the best for a NYC Airbnb that we’ve seen – two people could easily work in it. It had tea kettle and coffeepot. We had breakfast there every morning, without problem, given a regular size fridge, stove, & microwave. The table can set three easily, and four in a pinch. There is also a small couch. The three of us had no trouble spending an hour there in the evening, relaxing before dinner, or after.
The bathroom also was fine – there was a large cabinet so three people could use it. There were enough towels for all of us, but no washcloths. The shower/water pressure was great, and there was a full size tub.
The beds were comfortable, but on the softer/less firm side. There wasn’t much storage space. But! A full-sized empty closet with LOTS of hangers. The curtains in the windows don’t entirely block city light. The bedrooms had powerstrips, with sufficient outlets.
The place looks like originally a one-bedroom converted to two. This works fine, as long as you are not looking for a large place to spend all day insidel. The style is simple, with a few prints on the walls. We had a busy, complex schedule, and this place suited us just fine. Its about a quarter block to 10th avenue, and we never had trouble getting an uber or taxi. There are bodegas (for breakfast food) and liquor stores (for gifts! No partying in this place) nearby. There is also an elevator (for us oldies, who can’t do fifth floor walk-ups anymore).
Kiki was a great host, and we had no trouble getting in or checking out. She checked in on us during the stay, but nothing went wrong. We would gladly stay here again.
