Pros:
The building is new and the common area is cleaned constantly. It was nice to walk into the building to feel the scent of a clean floor. The building has an elevator and a laundry room with two washers and two driers. It was conveniently located, close to a lot of grocery stores, restaurants, bars and two blocks away from several subway lines. The building street is very loud, but we got lucky to be placed in an apartment in the back of the building, so it was super quiet. I'm a light sleeper and I had no problems sleeping there.
The apartment has nice amenities, with all the dishes/utensils you'll need to cook or have food there. Internet was fast and we had not one single problem with it.
Cons:
The apartment floor was not very clean. There was animal (dog I guess) hair everywhere on the floor. The mattress was super dirty with all sorts of stains. We complained about it to the management company we were referred to by the host and they responded pretty quickly, sending a cleaning company immediately to clean the apartment. They replaced the mattress with a new one (that was prime service!) and offered to switch us to another apartment if we wanted. As the apartment was pretty quiet, we decided to stay there and not risk moving to another apartment facing the street. The cleaning company did an ok job cleaning the apartment. It was ok, but I still could see animal hair under the couch and under the bed. Not ideal after paying a fairly big cleaning fee, but not that bad that we would insist on having the apartment cleaned again.
