The good: it’s a comfortable place in a great location. Right on the north end of Hell’s Kitchen, I was never very far from anywhere I needed to be. The bed is comfortable (it’s a good quality memory foam mattress), and the pull out couch is big enough to fit two people. It’s not terribly comfortable, but will do in a pinch. The kitchen is very well laid out, and the appliances are new and clean. Same with the bathroom... nice and spacious, particularly for NYC! The bad: The water pressure in the shower was really pretty bad. I don’t have a lot of hair... it’s pretty fine, and only about shoulder length... but it took me at least double the amount of time it normally would to rinse my hair. Just not particularly good. Of the 5 windows in the apartment, only one would open when I was there... the rest had broken mechanisms. Not terrible, as the one that opened did the trick with filtering out the buildings inherent heating system, but it would have been nice to have been able to have opened one of the bedroom windows, or to have been able to close blinds in the bedroom to block morning sun. The ugly: Two big things here, which I feel I really must mention: 1.) There is street work going on directly outside of this apartment building. Like, massive street work, and I have no idea how long it is going to last. The jackhammering in the morning made it hard to stay asleep, and for someone like me (who was in town for work, and works nights and needs to sleep in the mornings), it was really rough. No one mentioned this was the case, and while I suppose they’re technically not required to, I find it a bit deceptive that they didn’t. 2.) The big ugly thing was something that I reported to AirBNB, and they are working to figure out what happened: They we’re doing work on the windows, replacing them with double paned windows to help block sound from the street, and asked for permission to enter the apartment to do work early on in my stay. I gave them permission, and they did the work. A week later, I was out running errands, and I came home to discover a dude sitting on my couch, eating his lunch. He spoke no English, but I saw the tools that were laying about, and it was obvious to me that they had come back to do more work on the windows. This was **really not good** in a few ways... for one, they entered my sublet without permission. That was (and felt like) a MAJOR violation of my privacy and safety. Secondly, I had a work thing that night and had plans of doing work from home for the afternoon leading up. Now with this guy in my apartment, and with me feeling so incredibly violated, I had to gather my things...
