Had read previous reviews of the room from others, so when host sent address of building and it was a full block south of advertised address, it wasn’t something that surprised me. (And no, it wasn’t just a different entrance on a side street but still the same building. It was a completely different building on a completely different street.) However, it was still a block off Times Square, and the room was exactly as the host had advertised.
I was just looking for a place to sleep overnight right in the heart of my weekend trip to see some shows. The room fit that bill at an unbeatable price.
Was a bit taken back by the host insisting on communicating outside the app with instructions on how to get in. I typically only communicate through the app at AirBnb’s recommendation. When host insisted that videos wouldn’t send through the app, I relented. However, then host texted written instructions. Seemed a little shady. Overall, happy with the price, and irregularities didn’t ruin trip.
