There was a lot good, including the location, the general cleanliness, and the hosts kindness even as our flight was delayed and we had to check in late.
The downsides: the heat and the lack of communication. First - the apartment was hot, which peaked in the middle of the night. There is no ability to control, and the host recommended using the A/C -which didn't impact the bedroom temp. This made sleeping hard.
The other big downside was poor communication. I had emailed to ask a question ahead of time, didn't get a reply. During the stay I asked if we could extend it by a day, as NYC was preparing for a state of emergency with storm Stella and all planes were grounded. Didn't get a reply. And beyond the wifi info (which was incorrect) -I didn't get any information on the apartment or expectations. What to do with garbage? Check out time? Check out process?
All in all, we had a fine stay. And if we hadn't been in NYC for a state of emergency her lack of communication would have had less impact.
