Overall, it was an 'okay' stay considering its good price. We stayed for one month.
Pro
- The place was just as advertised. when we first entered the unit, we found it nice and quaint.
- You can use the kitchen
- Clean considering it's old. No roaches in the unit the entire month we stayed there. (many NYC houses have roaches)
- good internet
- large screen TV with streaming apps
- Location is great. Good restaurants & bars & supermarket nearby
- free Laundry in the building basemet
- Gisele is attentive. When we told her it was getting cold, she had the building manager give us another heater which helped alot.
Cons
- Very old building built in 1910 and all the problems that come with it.
- Noise was the biggest problem for us. It was difficult to sleep due to the very, VERY loud noise of heater in the room and steampipe in the bathroom (which are controlled by the building). I complained to Gisele about this but got no reply.
- we saw a rat and a roach in the basement where you throw away trash and use the washing machine
- No elevator
- No dish washer
