Like several other reviewers the only strong positive I have is the prompt communication. The location suited our needs as it was close to LGA airport and near the events that brought us back to the city, it was also a safe neighborhood. Overall I unfortunately would have to give this place a DO NOT RECOMMEND.
Main issues:
- place is completely bare except for some very basic cheap furniture
- while the kitchen is nice and has dishes there are zero basic amenities there that could easily be curated/built up by incoming guests for food preparation. There is not even a single salt shaker or bottle of vegetable oil.
- lack of proper sheets, rather than having a "normal" set of sheets that includes bottom/fitted + a top/flat sheet they only provide obviously old flat sheets thus the sheet ends up getting bunched and by morning you're on the bare mattress (this is also mentioned in another reviewers report >1 year ago)
- they provided travel size toothpaste however there was no soap of any kind (bar soap, shampoo, or otherwise)
- mattresses were quite old, saggy and uncomfortable
- place is not updated (other than kitchen) and 'feels' icky however it is well cleaned
- if coming in summertime, the AC is woefully inadequate except for in the main bedroom
- I cannot comment as to the TV/cable as we didn't use it, the internet was adequate for basic browsing
In short, it is clear that the hosts are doing only the bare minimum to collect the dollars. I regret staying here, our party could've rented hotel rooms in Queens with much better amenities for the same price. It simply does not meet up to the standards of other airbnbs I've stayed in - while some feel like a home away from a home and others feel like a hotel room, this one is neither.
