Overall, this was a nice place. It is conveniently located on the UES close to two different trains (77/Lex and 73/2nd) which makes commuting and exploring the city very easy to do. I'm going to list out a few pros and cons especially for the next extended stay guest.
Pros:
Location - a nice area of Manhattan with many restaurants and trains close by. Central Park is also walking distance, which is very nice.
Ease of Entry - everything is keyless entry which makes things incredibly easy (though the landlord did change the code without notice or communication once during the stay).
Communication of changes - several times during the stay, the landlord changed the trash policy. Every time, there was a note on the door outlining the change and the new code.
Cons:
Overall communication - the booking was a headache from the beginning. The landlord made us sign a lease that contradicted the price quote from AirBnB and could not clearly communicate the difference. He is inarticulate and oftentimes types in all caps without a clear message which makes communication extremely difficult. The landlord also went so far as to install cameras and shame one of the tenants with a photo violating the trash policy. It felt incredibly disrespectful and uncomfortable. The landlord also said that he received complaints about us, but did not communicate that until after checkout when requesting additional money.
Misrepresentation - the place is much smaller than photos would lead you to believe and this place is not a true two bedroom, it is a two bedroom flex. There's an artificial wall that cuts the living room in half to create a bedroom. This also means that you need to walk through a bedroom to get to the bathroom. The place also boasts a lovely jet bathtub and the jet did not work a single time this summer. The place also has an outdated microwave, which is challenging, especially since there isn't an oven in the apartment.
I would definitely recommend this place to folks that are planning to eat out often and are just looking for a place to lay their head. The place is very modern and close to the trains and is in a very quiet neighborhood. It is difficult for long-term living given its size and lack of amenities.
