So, my friend and I stayed at Elliot’s place in November 2019. I am writing a public review as I think it will help a lot of people decide whether it is the right accommodation for them.
Positives:
• amazing location
• close to all attractions, subways and bus tours
• the bed is comfortable
• kitchen area is well stocked
• check in is easy if you know how to use a lock box
• clean linen and towels given
• quick responses from the host himself
• emergency number available if required
• space to hang your clothes.
Negatives:
• NOT SUITABLE FOR ANYONE WHO HAS MOBILITY ISSUES. The property is located up 3 flights of stairs and no elevator. Pack light!!
• apartment is in noisy location. If you’re a light sleeper then you will struggle to sleep
• the room is actually just a partitioned area
• No common area to relax
• if you are 5 ft 2 or less, the shower will be difficult to use.
• in the room, the blinds are broken and there is no heating. Winters are cold!
Improvements required:
• the shower needs a full refurb
• maybe provide better pillows (personal opinion)
Also, keep an eye on people who may be staying in the other room. Our neighbours left the bathroom in a disgusting state everyday and I had to clean up after them. However, on the whole, this accommodation was exactly what we needed to be- a place to sleep and wash. Thank you to Elliot who provided this in the most perfect location in NYC! Xx
