I was really excited for this place, I have never stayed overnight in New York and after reading the reviews I had really high expectations. The first thing I would say is that the pictures do not really represent the apartment. They are edited a lot for lighting, it looks nice and bright but is in reality dim and a lot darker than what it really looks like online. I noticed several people say that they loved the decor but in my opinion it was very dated, non cohesive and odd...I guess would be the right word. Also, the parking was a nightmare. I was told I would not have an issue parking and that is absolutely not the case. Beware if you stay here with a car, you might need to park several blocks away and walk with your suitcase and it is up 6 flights of stairs so I had to leave my suitcase in the car and just take my backpack. It was kind of a sketchy area and I was worried about the car all night with my suitcase in the trunk but it ended up being okay thankfully. I liked that it had a full kitchen but it wasn't really stocked well with dishes/silverware, there were a lot of random items in the drawers and food other people had left. It was just a menagerie of stuff collected from previous guests. Also there was a TV but not connected to anything, even cable. Overall I would not stay in this place again and I would not recommend it but if you don't have a car and have light luggage, it might not be as bad for you. When we had something come up and needed to leave early we could not get a refund for the last night we didn't stay which was disappointing. It was our most expensive airbnb on this trip and also the one we were most disappointed with.
