I stayed here for a month while working remotely and visiting NYC for the first time. Overall my experience was great and I would recommend it to anyone on a budget who wants to stay right in the heart of the city.
Location - Pretty amazing. It's a nice local neighborhood just far enough away from the touristy parts of Midtown but still walking distance to all the hits. You are pretty close to NYU and a few Hospitals so it has a younger professional feel to it. The building is super close to everything you need. Grocery stores, Target, the Subway, Parks, etc.
Building - The building is a bit older and consists of a mix of AirBnb studios and actual long term apartments. The building itself was quiet and I only passed by someone in the hall maybe a handful of times my entire time here. Getting into the building and the studio are super easy. Theres also a laundry room in the basement with two washers and dryers that you can pay to use. Super easy and accommodating so you don't need to head to a Laundromat.
Wifi - This was super important to me since I work remotely. I had concerns about the speed prior to booking based on other reviews but I never had a problem. The speed is decent and I never had connectivity issues. I was able to stream movies, take zoom calls, and rely on it 100% during my time here. There are also a ton of Starbucks/free wifi options nearby in the event something does occur with the internet.
Cleanliness - This was the only real drawback with the space. I was provided numerous sheets and towels for my stay, but upon arrival the studio was a bit dirty. Nothing crazy, but crumbs on the counter, floor was a bit messy, and everything just felt like it needed a wipe down. I walked to target to get some basic cleaning supplies to give it a quick once over. I didn't mention this to the host during my stay as it didn't really bother me but in case you are a neat freak, just a heads up!
Communication - This was awesome. If I had a question it was answered immediately. Check in/out instructions are clear and easy. Maintained my privacy but were always there to help if needed.
Overall I do not think you can get a better deal than this to stay in the heart of the city. The space is small and no frills, but that is exactly what I was looking for. A home base to get a bit of work done before heading out and seeing everything the city has to offer. I would recommend this to the solo traveler looking to really experience New York.
