The Bad.
This place definitely has a sketchy vibe. The whole building gave off a illegal airbnb hotel vibe.
The interior of the room is pretty bad and needs some work. Things like the flooring panels were drifting to reveal a gross looking brown tile underneath. Stuff like a power strip with a screw drilled through it to mount it to the wall made me wonder what else was sketchy and potentially dangerous in this place that I couldn't see.
Beds are super uncomfortable and the frames appeared to be homemade. The rooms were extremely cold in early December. The host left electric heaters in each room but they didn't really help a ton.
Hot water was also scarce. After two out of the 4 people staying there had showered, no hot water was left for the remaining two people.
No stove, just an electric hotplate.
The Good.
Three out of the 4 rooms were actually pretty spacious by nyc standards. The 4th one was unfortunately small. The Bathroom was quite large and somehow the nicest part of the entire space. The host left plenty of towels for everyone.
In Conclusion.
The biggest benefit of this place is the cost to room ratio. If you need a spot for 4 people for a reasonable price and you don't care what it looks like or how the beds feel, its great. If you want a nice experience in an inviting well furnished place, this is not for you. Sketchy is the word of the day
