Pros:
- The location is great. Central Park is two blocks down and everything else is either a walking distance away or easy to get to by the metro.
- Max’s communication is very good. He replies fast and tries to help in whatever you need.
Cons:
- The key was not in the locker I was told. I got there at 3AM after a delayed flight and had to wait a good 20 minutes in the cold for Max to tell me that the key was on another locker with another code. I had already started looking for hotels nearby before he finally told me where to find the key.
- Bed sheets and towel were clean but there was dust everywhere and hair on the floor. I got severe allergies during my two nights there. In the bathroom, there was hair on the sink and the floor.
- The shared kitchen and living room area is nothing like the pictures. It was a mess and they had stuff all over the place.
- On my second night and after spending all day outside, I come back to a random girl chilling on the sofa. She wasn’t acting normal, she was definitely on something. She ended up sleeping there all night with her jacket as a blanket. I don’t care about people being in the same place if they live there or they’re also doing Airbnb but someone had to let her in and honestly I didn’t feel safe. Just to go use the bathroom, I had to lock my bedroom door.
This place has great potential but it needs to be cleaner and managed better. As a girl that travels by her self, I would not recommend it as it is.
