Pros:
- Great location in one of the best neighborhoods of NYC
- Good neighbors, quiet building, bedrooms with dark curtains facing away from the street
- The apartment has plenty of space and decent furniture
Cons:
- Roaches, mainly in the bathroom. There is a gap between the newer wood floor and the tile that starts in the bathroom where they come from. I don't want to go into further detail but be careful if you stay here, it is best to leave the light on and check the toilet area before sitting down.
- One AC unit that did not work well at all, overall it is not a good place for summer. I had to sleep on the couch next to the unit and even had to skip the last night due to the AC unit breaking altogether.
- In response to my polite messages about the bugs/heat, the host told me that I could buy fans/roach traps, and then did not follow up on their stated commitments of paying me back for the fan and calling the exterminator.
Overall, I would not recommend staying here.
