The only misrepresentation is that this isn't a "self check-in" place. You need keys to enter the building and apartment. In my case, Kyle wasn't in town to give me the keys, and I had to go back and forth with Kyle a lot over text before my arrival. He said "don't worry" a lot, but he didn't communicate a clear plan until a couple hours before my flight. I was also landing at 12:30am, so he finally asked a friend to meet me around 1:30am to let me in. But when I landed, she asked me to come to her house instead (which was closeby). When I got to her house, she asked me to come to 4th floor. When I refused, she got frustrated on the phone, but finally came downstairs. Note, I'm a young female traveler, so I'm cautious.
Kyle is a nice guy, and he was friendly the whole time. His place is in an amazing location. The place was very clean, and there was a lot of attention to detail (like fast wifi & nice ACs in the hot NYC summer). The bedroom only fits the bed, but it's NYC. There are no drawers or closets in the apartment. It's a 5th floor walk up, and a restaurant owns the 2nd floor, so the severs come in and out a lot.
We choose "superhosts" so that the Airbnb experience is seamless, and we had high expectations as a result. We also choose "self check-in" because we hate dealing with keys -- especially when there is a chance our flights could be delayed. If I had to do it again, I wouldn't have chosen this place, but it's cute and cozy overall.
