For location this place is great, perfectly situated between Chelsea and the West Village. There's lots happening locally if you're keen to explore the food and drink scene.
Unfortunately there was A LOT that was disappointing about this Airbnb. For reference, I stayed there for a month in May-June 2022 while working in Midtown with my London based company.
Firstly, it was not as advertised in terms of the items listed. When I arrived, there were no pots, no pans, no knives (sharp or blunt), no iron, no hair dryer. The only cooking facility was a microwave, as there's no oven, which is stated on the ad. This made cooking for myself quite difficult. When I arrived, I could not figure out how to use the hob/stove, seemingly it wouldn't turn on. I asked Daniella to help, but she stopped replying to me after I sent her a video of it. I found the answer myself on YouTube after googling the model of the hob/stove. Turns out it needs a metallic surface, like the bottom of a pan, to be on top of it to turn on. Seeing as there was no pots or pans of any sort in the apartment, I could not use the hob/stove.
I told Daniella about this on Day 1 and pressed again during the first week. After some back and forth across the week, she sent new items of all the things the ad listed, but did not contain, the pots, pans, iron, hair dryer and knives. Great - very thankful, better late than never - even if it took 1 week. I could finally use the hob/stove and fry an egg if I wanted. I asked her if she checked the property before I arrived and she said that she manages 30+ lets and doesn't have time to do this. So don't expect that she will make sure the place is OK before you arrive. Usually I wouldn't care this much, but I paid £5K to stay there for the month, so yes I do expect that you do the bare minimum and check the Airbnb has the items that you say it has on the advertisement before your guest arrives.
Secondly, during my third week, the microwave broke, just stopped working. I told Daniella, she never replied. Poor communication in general from her.
Thirdly, there is something wrong with the toilet in the bathroom. It's like it's constantly flushing from the basin. Very disruptive if you're a light sleeper. I told her about this on Day 1 and she said she would get the building maintenance person to take a look. That never happened. So I just started using ear plugs to block out the sound. This was an OK solution for me, but a good host would have sorted that when asked.
I was working really long hours during the whole month and found the process of having to communicate all these problems to Daniella quite tiring. She's generally uncommunicative and not helpful for when all these things were happening.
Note the apartment has no vacuum or brooms so you aren't really able to clean up properly after yourself.
This may seem like a bit of a bitter review, but to be honest, all the apartment's flaws would have been manageable if Daniella was able to communicate better to sort things out. Being proactive and helpful goes a long way when troubleshooting issues with accommodation.
Wouldn't recommend and wouldn't go back.
Some positives: great shower space (although sometimes it takes 5 mins or so to warm up), a really convenient location, good open storage space for clothes, there are some nice skylights that let in some extra light, the AC was functioning well.
