You definitely get what you pay for and all-in-all the value is pretty good depending on your priorities. We thought the price mostly reflects the extended walk to any train, size of the apartment and the fact that its noted as a walkup. The roof garden is spectacular and easily provides a huge value punch. The linens and towels were clean, and there are some inventive approaches to storage for a small space that make finding a spot for your accoutrements easier. Its a 4th floor walkup, with an additional 4 stories to get up to the roof garden. The bathroom door doesn't really close because there is only one screw in the top hinge and both the door and frame have expanded enough that you can't even pick it up and jam it into place really. The bathroom is also right next to the bed, so if you are traveling with someone its going to get really intimate really fast. This place may be best for singles, long-time married couples or siblings only for that reason. The tub doesn't really drain fast and you will be standing in a few inches of water after even a short shower. There is a hair trap to help manage clogging, but this may also be contributing to the slow drainage, not sure. The A/C unit has been inserted into a large cutout in the wall with cant strip foam or something similar plugging the perimeter. It has fallen out/gotten beat up over time so you can see through the hole to the outside, making the A/C unit not the most effective, plus providing a pathway for bugs to get in right at the bedside. There was also black stuff on the A/C unit, but I'm unsure if that was built-up dust, mold or something else. The apartment was relatively clean, but there is a lot of clutter so it feels like you are navigating around a lot of debris, which may just come with the fact that you are in someone's day-to-day apartment.
