stay was OK. would recommend only for a night or 2. not 2 weeks like I stayed. slight check in communication problem but easily fixed, thanks Victor!!! there is no food storage or food prep area for guests. there is a mini fridge ... however, it is NOT in the bedroom as shown in the picture and it in the hallway. shared. fridge was full of hairs when i arrived. i had to sanitize it before i put anything in there. gross. closet in bedroom is NOT accessible to guests. it really should be. this would be very useful. plenty of hangers and hooks though. if you are 2 people with more than a suitcase, you will be squashed. the stairs leading up to the floor are VERY narrow. the front door opens RIGHT in front of apt #1's door. I left my suitcase 5 seconds there whilst I took the rest of my bags upstairs and the man just happened to come home at that second and whinge. potential to share the bathroom with a LOT of people. i had no troubles with my bath time except one guest ... maybe two with whom I was sharing the bathroom. one left hairballs all in the bathtub EVERY morning. the other ... maybe the same guest never flushed the toilet. seriously? come on. balcony is awesome except the light doesn't work or there is no globe. so I was sitting out there in the dark every night. open pit of a construction site right next door ... view from one of the bedroom windows not very sceanic. VERY noisy early in the morning. there seems to be no schedule to their noise. some days there was nothing!! there is a laundromat over the road but it has terrible reviews so I just washed my clothes in the bathroom and dried them out on the balcony. tv is great. plenty of channels. EASY walk from the jackson heights subway. 7 mins down either 74th or 75th street. tons of food options. solo white female traveller, I felt safe. was never bothered. no trouble walking around all hours of the night. plenty of little corner stores open in the area too for a snack or a drink :) Victor is lovely and very accommodating. very fast communication too.
