Well me try to put this in context
The location was great. However when i contacted Thomas about picking up the keys, I told him my guest and i would arrive at 1:41 at JFK, and expected to arrive at the apartment between 2:30 and 3:00 p. m. He said he would not be off from work until 5:00 and he would try to make it to the apartment around 5:30. so we would just have to wait for him, OR we could take a taxi to his mothers home and pick up the keys, In order for me to not ask my guest to wait in the cold for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, in 24 degree weather we took the taxi which cost us almost $10.00 . Then i ask him to come do a walk through in the apartment, he said he would come at 9:00, He never showed up. WE could not get the heat to work in the living room, so we called him and he said he would come take a look at, He never show up, again We asked if we could get a second key, since with 5 adults, we were having conflicts in our travel. he said there was only one key for the apartment.
There was no microwave, in the apartment, no coffee pot, just a french press that made about 2 small cups of coffee no dish towels.
no cups, just 2 souviour cups, probally left by the former guest.
The apartment was not clean. there was food in the refrigator, food on the counter, pizza stuck on the broiler in the oven, and the oven was not clean, the top of the stove was dirty. i wiped

dust and food off the top of the stove. The bath room needed cleaning, there was hair in the bathtub drain. the labatory was not clean. Half used toileteries left in the window.
I think what happened was the formerguest tided up the apartment and the apartment was never cleaned, I don't know what he does with the $80.00 cleaning fee, but is wasn't used to clean the apartment the floors needed vacuming and cleaning. I would not advertise this for 5 people, i think it would be better for a couple and 3 children, not 5 people. The towels and other linnings are very sparce. I don't think i will be renting from Thomas again.
We enjoyed our stay in New York, just our apartment was not a good experience . but we did not let this ruin our stay.I will keep New York on my place to visit, i will look for other apartments.
Thank you. I will look to see if i see this on the reviews.
