As one reviewer put it, this place is no frills, but it is a surprisingly large place given that it's 2bd/1ba. And the price for the location is great. It's a 15-minute walk to the subway, and just a few blocks away from a large shopping plaza containing Target, Costco, and Aldi. The unit is on the second floor, though the entrance is on the first floor, and 3 lockable doors separate you and the outside. No smart lock, so there are physical keys.
The two bedrooms are street-facing, and both contain window AC units that are great for the heat but let in a bit of street noise (not too disruptive, even with me being a light sleeper). All of the mattresses are very firm spring mattresses, which are not my favorite. Both bedrooms contain a dresser and nightstands, and the host was responsive in providing a replacement lightbulb for the lamp on my nightstand. The bathroom contains a few bottles of Head & Shoulders and body wash, which was nice. Single-ply toilet paper though--not a fan. And no bathroom vent fan. There's a washer and dryer in the kitchen, which is odd but nice. We didn't use them.
We didn't cook while we stayed here, and I don't think the kitchen is well-stocked for cooking from a pantry and cookware perspective. The oven and stove also look a bit old. There is a Keurig machine with plentiful K-cups, which is nice. Sparse selection of mugs though, and some of the plastic cups are cracked and non-functional (they'll leak). No Tupperware, and a hodgepodge of silverware. No checkout instructions, and the host didn't respond when I asked if there were any (I would assume there aren't any). Overall, this place does the deed when you need an affordable place to stay in Manhattan!
