Pros:
Good location/close to transit which made getting to midtown convenient. It was also east to get to JFK (I traveled a lot for business during my stay). Good restaurants/bars.
Cons:
Bathroom is tiny and the toilet ran constantly (it kept me up at night until I started closing the bathroom door and/or wearing headphones). AC unit was very loud & there was no way to control the heat value so it got very hot in the fall. It was unreasonable for the host to expect a guest to water plants without providing a safe way to reach them. They are on a high shelf and there is no ladder. I offered to set up a system to make it easier for a guest to care for the plants but by the time it arrived towards the end of my stay, I was traveling and moving into my new apartment and was too busy to set it up. The bed was uncomfortable. I woke up with back pain most mornings. Lots of street noise. In my opinion, not ideal for a long-term stay.
