I really have a hard time reviewing our stay at Yana’s. On the one hand, Yana is a very nice person. It is fun talking to her and she makes you feel welcome. But as much as I want to give her a five star review I just cannot.
At first sight the apartment looks very clean, but it's actually just cleaned superficially. It looks clean but touching it makes you realize it is not as clean as you might have thought. They underside of the toilet seat was not cleaned at all, it was not white.
Although the cat George is very nice and fun to play with, be aware he can be very annoying and dirty too. When he races into your room and hides under your bed and you have to get him out before going to sleep.
There is only one AC in the living room, so if you want it really cool, you have to sleep with the door opened.
Lastly I want to mention that this is a street side apartment so it can be noisy. I sleep very deep so I don't mind, but others might have difficulties.
Mostly I think this place was overpriced.
Honestly, I do not understand all the other 5 star reviews. It seems like noone is reading what the stars mean. 3 - average, 4 - great and 5 - fantastic. I rate this 3 stars because it had it’s ups and downs. So 3 stars is nor good nor bad, although some people assume it is and only 5 stars are good. Prior reviews are a little euphoric, in my opinion, but that is the case with 90% of the reviews here at Airbnb. Would stay at Yana’s again, but I think there are better options in NYC, for less money. This was my second Airbnb experience.
