I am giving 3 stars because of the location.
It was very convenient from the subway stop. Do not plan to get here past 9 PM, if you are a first time visitor to NYC. The neighborhood was a mix of people when considering safety issues.
I chose this host because of her reviews. But surprisingly she was not. She received us with complaints that we had kept her waiting, despite we emailing a week in advance about check in time. Also, she seemed surprised when we showed up at the door. Somehow, she was expecting one guest, when the reservation was made for two guests. Weird reception !
The room offered to us was ~ 75 sq ft max. We were given towels, water, toothbrush, even though we had our own and didn't feel like using the ones provided. Our main complaint was there were lot of bugs in the home, The reason being too much eatables stuffed in the tiny kitchen area and some of them were not consumable - expired milk, rotten carrots, etc.

Don't be surprised to see other guests in the home, There was another couple who were renting the other room and there is only one shared shower which had tons of hair.

Overall, stay here, if you are making a last minute reservation and absolutely have no other choice.
