A few pros and cons about the place.
CONS:
• You can hear everything (including when you’re in the hallway), bc the walls are thin and the building itself is a bit older.
• One of the windows came off when a gust of wind hit the windows, we managed to place it back on again.
• The heater is building regulated so you can’t turn it off or on. You have to just crack open a window, but then it gets too cold.
• The instructions to find the room was a bit confusing. The room number in the instructions were incorrect, so it took my husband and I a while to find it. The key to get into the building is also in another building located down the street, so keep that in mind. We also arrived later so we couldn’t get a hold of Maria as we got there at midnight.
• There were weird things happening in the building, such as a creepy man who was inhabiting the building (we came across him the night before he was kicked out and he was extremely creepy — just stood in the corner and didn’t help us open the door as we were struggling to open it). The next day a man told us and a fee others that he was being kicked out and “not to worry any longer” (strange).
• The building had postings of “no AirBnB”, so I thought that was weird, since we were staying in one.
• The bed wasn’t very comfy, so keep that in mind if you have back and neck issues like myself. The bed is too soft.
PROS:
• Fairly clean.
• The sheets and details in the apartment are luxurious.
• Spacious room for a studio and for 2 people.
• There are pots, pans, plates available for use.
• Very close to time square, great restaurants, and walk to many places — you can’t beat the location.
Overall it was a good stay, but I think I would have rather stayed at a hotel in the nearby area for the price and considering we had to pay for parking.
