I booked a long term stay of 2 months. I moved to nyc to work. I would recommend another place for a long stay. A short weekend or even week would be fine, but I bet you can find cheaper/cleaner spots.
The bathroom is old and the place was not super clean when I arrived.
The toilet broke for 2 days (overflowed in the bathroom) and I was offered nothing in return. The host fixed it, but it took 2 handy men and 2 days to fix. I was offered a toilet in the basement for those two days. The host said he was not willing to pay for accommodations while its being fixed. I also wasted hours on a Friday and Saturday waiting for the handy men to arrive and fix.
The host reached out half way through my stay asking for a pet fee of $300 even though I specifically booked a place that allowed pets. He said he heard scratching at the door one day when he had to visit to check the gas. The host made me feel uncomfortable. I’m pretty sure he entered the place when I was not there, but denied it.
