Pros and cons are the only way to review this listing, as it was such a mixed bag. Cons: not enough supplies. Two towels for each guest for two weeks isn't enough, especially with no laundry. No facecloths, no spare keys (two guests who don't plan to be together all the time need two sets of keys, we had one cut), no instructions for recycling/garbage or bags for sorting, etc. The entire apartment needs a really good cleaning. Most surfaces were grimy and that was unexpected. From the photos we expected more...doors are grubby and need wiping down, light switches, bathroom in general, etc. The studio is a very tiny room and smells musty. We didn't use it but set up a bed in the living room instead, where we had to hang something over the windows because there are no curtains in the room, and even if it had been used only as a living room, at ground level it wasn't comfortable to have the windows exposed. And Ivy...well, she's cute but! Yes, we were told she sheds but her hair is everywhere. The navy pillowcases and sheets on the bed were coated in white cat hair, as was most everything else in the place. We were told not to bother with the litter box but, for two weeks? The little room that houses Ivy's litter box and food already smelled of urine when we arrived, so after two weeks or even a few days it would have been unbearable. We cleaned it every day. Pros: the bed in the bedroom is super comfy. The apartment is in a great location, so convenient for the short commute to Manhattan, and as two single ladies we felt safe and comfortable, which is most important. The neighborhood is nice, and everything is so convenient. PS Pizza on the corner offers good food at excellent value. For NY it's quiet, only heard the sound of the train at night which isn't unpleasant and actually kind of soothing. Amy is responsive and cheerful, always replying quickly to questions by text. Overall it was ok accommodation but we didn't feel we got good value because of the lack of attention to detail. I have never had an issue with a rental from this site, and would have taken it up with someone right away, but it was Christmas in NY and it would have been difficult if not impossible to find something else on short notice. That said, we were safe, and warm enough, so it wasn't an emergency, but we were disappointed in many aspects of the apartment.
