This was a great spot to stay for two people for a few nights in the East Village.
Pros -
- The apartment was clean, quiet, and had a great view from the bedroom.
- We really appreciated the amenities: nice shower soap/shampoo/conditioner/hand soap/lotion, access to extra toilet paper and paper towels, plenty of room in the bathroom medicine cabinet and bedroom dresser to unpack, a hair dryer provided, washer/dryer, and a few coffee pods and some sugar for the coffee maker.
- The air conditioners worked great in both the living room and bedroom.
- The bed was really comfy and the blinds kept out a lot of the light.
- Key pickup was complicated with KeyCafe (nothing to be done about how their app kind of sucks), but it was amazing that the location was open 24 hours, so we didn't have to worry if our flight got delayed or we needed to leave early the morning of check-out. It didn't go smoothly, but it was helpful.
- Location! Perfection!
Cons -
- There are THREE very steep flights of stairs (which is standard in the East Village, but good to know if you have mobility issues). The host told me that it was a 3rd floor walk-up (which would be 2 flights of stairs) and it's not, it's on the 4th floor of the building. That felt a little shady when we arrived, but it was fine, and turned out to be nice being up that high for the view and the quiet.
- The wifi was slow and would cut out a lot. It wasn't a problem for us, but if we'd been traveling internationally it would've been a problem.
- The comforter is made of down feathers, and our host wasn't sure if it was or not before we booked. So if you're allergic (like I am), be aware.
All in all, we had a great stay here!
