My fiancée and I another couple went for a fun weekend stay to Manhattan. We had expected to stay in a quaint and cozy pad near Central Park to get access to all the activities going on this great city. I must say we ended up being very disappointed in this place.
Firstly, the place is in east Harlem which is a very rough area to be staying in. When you walk around this area you don’t feel safe. There were even people doing drugs in front of the premises.
Second, the accuracy of the description was way off.
Here we were two couples and yes the place has five beds but my fiancée and I had to sleep together in a very small kids bed. Sure very cozy but not what we were expecting.
It appears that the place isn’t being kept up or cleaned enough. Large black flies flying around, garbage under the bed, no bathroom toiletries or enough towels. It needs better housekeeping.
Also the host was delayed a bit in her responses which made our trip planning a bit more stressful.
In general, this place is overrated for the price and the owner needs to reset expectations about what audience they are trying to capture. We don’t recommend staying here if you are visiting NYC.
