Pros:
*quick, attentive, communication with host; minor problems solved quickly; resolved locked in key situation within an hour, resolved broken vanity within 2 days
*great location in the UWS; ~2 blocks east to Central Park, ~2 blocks west to riverside park, ~5 min walk to 123 subway stop on 72nd
*tidy room with minimal clutter
*kitchen/bathroom basics
*shower is large for space, gets hot and stays hot
*large TV for the tiny space
*decent wifi (though there were a few “buffering” moments during busy streaming periods — ex. Sunday nights)
Cons
- room is incredibly tiny for ~3 grand/month ( feels like you can almost touch front and back walls with outstretch arms)
- lone room window faced a perpetually dark, narrow alley (though it made it relatively quiet)
- size of room makes storage of clothes, etc like a game of Tetris
- feels like a cheap college dorm
Conclusion:
Decent experience, great location, but too expensive for what little you get
