My partner and I stayed here while visiting friends in the area and while it met our basic needs, I did not find the place as described in the listing. I read through the other reviews and it seems like most people had a clean and comfortable experience, so I hope that our experience was just a one-off. We also locked ourselves out and the contact person (hosts are away traveling currently) was kind about getting us back in to the room, and the rooftop is accurately described with a great view. The room and common areas however felt very cluttered and dirty. The room was arranged differently than in the photos, and it felt like it was also being used as storage space (the patio also had an old mattress and a few other random things stashed out there). The bathroom was dirty and the shower head was broken so it just aimed straight down. I made the mistake of thinking the towel in the bathroom was a shared hand towel- it was so dirty it was stiff. There were two cockroaches in the bathroom, which I did reach out to the hosts to let them know, but they never replied to me. There was a bandaid on the ceiling in the bedroom which appeared to be covering a hole, and weirdly there were several bottles of alcohol, most empty but one with a small amount of liquor in it, in the room which- I can appreciate the intention of hospitality, but should be mentioned in the listing for folks avoiding alcohol. I also was confused as to who lived in the apartment, and whether there were other guests there, which would have been nice to know. It is not clear from the listing that there are two rental rooms right next to each other. The location is very convenient, but don’t be fooled by thinking this is just how it is because New York is expensive- there are better options out there for this price!
