The apartment was clean if very old. The hosts were excellent communicators who answered our questions promptly. They made every effort to provide a positive experience. Unfortunately NY landlords often don’t care for their buildings. Although this walk up (be prepared for 4 flights of steep stairs) is freshly painted, no upgrades have been made to the plumbing and electricity in many decades. There is no place to relax except the beds since ther is no living space except the kitchen with a table and three chairs. Location is excellent for getting around the Village and lower Manhattan. Close to subway. For a couple of nights in the city this apt is serviceable.
