BEWARE. The pictures of this unit are misleading. It is extremely small! It is in a building that looks like it has not been renovated since the 90's with no A/C in the common spaces. The elevator is so tiny that three of us with our single suitcases could not all fit at the same time. The lock on the door to the unit is difficult to work and has to be "finagled" to open the door properly.
When we arrived, one of the closets was so full of junk at the bottom of the closet that there was no place to put your shoes. The kitchen cabinets had random items messily stuffed into them (an old half-eaten box of cereal from some earlier tenant, strange pieces of styrofoam, plastic tins full of "junk drawer" kind of items, plastic utensils and packages of condiments left over from someone's take-out meals, many other items that were just obviously left from someone else rather than clearly provided by the Air BNB holder ). There were half-eaten food items left in the refrigerator, and an old frozen pizza long past its expiration still in the freezer.
The unit itself is very small. There is about 3 feet of clearance on one side of the beds in each room with the beds shoved fully into one corner against the wall. Not every room even has room for a bedside table, and on what bedroom furniture was provided the one tiny drawer fell apart when you opened it. There is no drawer space anywhere in the unit to store items and nothing else provided. Don't plan to unpack.
The kitchen has no drawer space either, so the utensils were crammed messily into a plastic bin and shoved into an upper cabinet. You had to search for them. Even though this is NYC, the host did not provide any sort of water filtration or bottled water. We had to purchase our own water filter pitcher. There was an old coffee pot, but the host did not even bother to provide any coffee.
This was a terrible experience for us. We left as soon as we could procure another AirBNB. The host did not refund our two-weeks pre-paid, even though we left so early in our reservation that we were able to give a week of notice to our leaving.
This space would be fit for a college-age male who didn't care much for hygiene or amenities, who just wanted to be within walking distance of Columbia and was fine on walking through the not-nice side of Columbus Ave/Amsterdam.
