Apartment is conveniently located, only 2 blocks and 1 avenue away from the 72nd street station.
Easy to get to the main attractions and only a few stops away from Times Square.
Plenty of bars and food places (including takeaways eg: Dominos) around the corner - supermarkets and dinners open around the clock.
Flat is small but yet nicely laid out with a separate bedroom - mattress is really soft and feels like a thick layer of foam so don’t expect much back support.
Slight hiccups when checking in though, we got stuck in traffic and arrived at location one hour late. Upon arrival no one was there to greet us and host declined our calls as attending a wedding abroad. Wasted over £41 trying to call and get online whilst waiting outside of the flat with my guests. Host later texted instructions and we were able to get the keys to the flat and self-check-in.
Instructions should have been provided beforehand to ensure smooth check-in - in our case, the final two confirmation emails sent to the host remained unanswered and we found ourselves pressing the buzzer for 20 minutes not knowing there would be no one at the location. Again when checking out, we asked the host to confirm checking out time both via text and airbnb but host remained vague and never provided us with an actual time...
Had the pleasure of sharing the flat with the fluffy Audrey who was very easy going and friendly.
Unfortunately, although flat seemed tidy at first glance it had not been thoroughly cleaned before our arrival and hygiene was lacking (eg: dry urine and pubic hairs found on toilet seat, plug in the shower was blocked with hair, sticky stains on kitchen counter, dirty dishes left in dishwasher, broken mirror in bedroom etc…).
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would be happy to recommend it to other guests but more attention is to be given to details.
