Pros:
Location is awesome. You’re next to two subway stations so it’s easy to get around town. There are some good restaurants and bars nearby and a CVS right around the corner. Check in was super easy. Elevator nice since it’s on the 4th floor. Small lobby area is clean. Good shower water pressure and hot water was never a problem. The building was warm but the AC unit worked fine. Guest left behind a lot of cooking basics, toilet paper and paper towels which saved us money (but this depends on the people before you). They were flexible with our check out time. WiFi is great. There was an HDMI cord. Decent closet space although there are many items stored in there already.
Cons:
The whole dishes situation. Wish they would just supply a few basics instead of the mismatched jumble of old and gross items. We had to wash all of the dishes when we first arrived. The couch is not the blue one shown in the photos. It is a dirty and stained couch that they throw bed sheets over. The floor was dirty. The apartment is cluttered with their random things/things other guests leave behind. There is no cleaning fee but I would’ve rather paid for someone to clean it after us because it made our check out process a little harder. There is no coffee pot (there is a French press). The most basic cable. The bed frame is slightly broken so every once in a while the mattress would slip through one corner and we’d have to get up to set it up again. In general the apartment wasn’t smaller than I anticipated from the photos but not a shock for NYC.
Overall we enjoyed our time here because of the location and would’ve stayed longer if we could. The apartment is standard so don’t expect luxury but it’s not awful. We’re a young couple so we made it work.
