The location is 3 blocks away from Grand Central Station, which made it really convenient for commuting around. The check-in/check-out process was easy :) The Airbnb is 4 floors up on small staircases, so pack light and expect some light cardio going in and out! Although the place isn't shiny and new, it was clean. The furniture is well-used and a bit worn, and the bed is on the squishy side. There were hair products, body wash with shower poufs, towels, toothbrushes, and toothpaste available, as well as extra toilet paper and a roll of paper towels. During our stay, there was construction work outside during the day and the occasional police or emergency sirens going off (city noises).
Overall, Kennedy was a great host-- he really responsive to any questions or concerns I had. The only hiccup we had was a clogged shower drain that had to wait the entire day to be fixed. We had originally set a time in the afternoon for a handyman to visit, and when I never got a confirmation/when the set time had passed, I messaged Kennedy again, which was when he informed me things couldn't be fixed until 11pm. My sister and I were hoping to sleep a lot earlier than past midnight. The handyman came in and solved the issue. He and Kennedy were super nice, and Kennedy covered our dinner for the hassle, which was really great of him. The shower drain worked great the rest of the stay, and Kennedy later sent me a message to check up on us too.
To sum it up, the location is really convenient, but expect to walk up a few flights of stairs to get to the place. It's well-stocked, clean, albeit a bit outdated without the extra frills. Kennedy was a great host and will address any concerns you voice to him.
