The apartment was clean, rehabbed and a 15-20 minute walk to commercial area. Close surroundings were two laundry mats and a bodega. Had five people over New Year's and we were comfortable with the amount of space, but we had no central heat and had to rely on space heaters.
It was in the 40's-50's so got by without running them at night and only a little chilly. It took me a bit to figure out that the baseboard heaters and thermostat were not working and when I contacted the host his response was why didn't I say something sooner-I felt he must have known he heat was not operational, because of space heaters in every room.
Most of the outlets in the living dining area did not work and had to use a power strip. The main bedroom had only 1 working, the 2nd bath had none that worked. Fresh rehab, bad outlets and space heaters made me think fire possible.
Supplies were sparse, only shampoo and soap in one of the two bathrooms. Towels were at a minimum and bed linens were cheap.
