Let's be really clear about what this is....a great location. If you're looking for someplace that's close to transit in Midtown Manhattan, this would be your place. It isn't a nice place, not necessarily a comfortable place, but just flat out convenient. I mean, the apartment was directly facing another apartment or wall really and there were no blinds. With the amount of young kids going in and out of these apartments, it looked like a hostel.
We were able to check in early on the first day. Unfortunately, we left the day we checked in. We came back from shopping and seeing the tree to roaches scattered all over the kitchen. I contacted airbnb support and we were refunded our money, however try looking for another hotel during the Christmas season in Manhattan at 11pm. We were lucky. Also, as we were leaving, we walked past an apartment with a police search order. I guess things happen for a reason, bc we did not see that coming in.
All that to say, weigh your options. Convenient location, but definitely not worth the money. We found a chain hotel 6 blocks away, cheaper that was spotless, no pests, natural light...and the tv worked.
