Great location. The host has made the apartment easier to live in with thoughtful touches to their best ability. There was great communication from the host. Not much more one could ask for.
But the apartment building itself is old, dingy and run down even by NYC standards. For example the electricity tripped and we had to figure out where the mains were to fix it at 3 am. We could live with it for a short stay because we’ve lived in the city before and are familiar with how run down some apartments can be here, and we booked at last minute with this being the cheapest available - but still felt it was overpriced for what it is (though that might just be a reflection of the crazy New York City cost of living).
