This is a review for the 1 bedroom apartment in Hell's Kitchen (note - this same posting is used for multiple apartments around the world).
Pros:
- The location for this apartment is incredibly convenient - just a few blocks from the subway and Times Square.
- The apartment is quite big and spacious.
- The host was pretty responsive on chat to answer questions.
Cons:
- The apartment layout is quite weird. There are no closets or drawers in which to store clothes, but there are 3 desks to work from. Also, the blinds still let in quite a bit of light through the windows.
- The refrigerator is placed over a laundry machine, so if you're under 5'10 - you will struggle to reach the freezer and various other storage areas around the apartment.
- The apartment was not thoroughly cleaned - There was still food in the fridge. There was a dirty utensil by the stove. The bathroom still had his toothbrush on the limited sink space, as well as various other items.
- I did see a cockroach one day, but it thankfully went away. The host's response was to just tell me that an exterminator comes to the building every 3 weeks, and asked if the cockroach was bothering me.
- In addition, there were 2 times I had to be home last minute for some checks being done on the heater, and the host didn't tell me until late the night before.
Overall, the apartment was fine, but I don't think I'd stay in it again. It was not the most comfortable or clean.
