The hosts were generally nice, sweet people. But the stay was made very uncomfortable by the heat in the apartment. It was 85-90 degrees our entire stay, and the AC was never on. We were perpetually sweating when inside. What’s worse unfortunately, is that I asked before I came if we would have AC, and she assured me we would be able to use it if we were hot. Well, we were, and when I asked to use it, even while verbalizing that I technically could, there was a palpable air of discouragement, making me feel guilty for being uncomfortably hot. Then, when we really could not take sweating in our sleep and when getting showered and dressed in the mornings and I turned it on at nights, when I woke up in the very early morning before the hosts were even awake, I would be hot and sticky again and would go check the thermostat to find that they had turned it back off. This felt extremely, extremely inconsiderate and a complete disregard for the comfort of their guests. I feel like if you are that concerned with the use of the basic comfort of AC, then raise your rate to include the reality that your guest will need it. So unfortunately, even though they were pleasant in their communications, their actions made it feel feigned, and in the end sweating at all times while in the house made our stay in NY a worse experience. It would have been enough to give it a 2-star “bad” experience, but honestly I just feel too bad doing it so I gave it a 3-star “okay” rating. But if you want to be comfortable temperature wise I would think hard before booking here. They could be the same exact way with their heat in the winters, keeping it uncomfortably cold in the house at all times. I don’t know, but the heat in the house was a real shame for us. Very disappointed in that aspect.
