The apartment is well located, you can really see so many things in nyc from the location, even the view from the roof at night is amazing to see the skyline. 20 mins to the highline, the Whitney, the Statue of Liberty etc. The apartment says its an equipped kitchen but realistically it is not, there are two hot plates two forks two knives etc, the hot plates easily set off the fire alarm also. Cooking in the apartment is not really ideal. The fire alarm is sensitive (which is great for safety) but no good if you are trying to make a meal. So be prepared to be eating out for 95% of your meals.
The bed was really comfortable to sleep in, but the floors in the apartment were dirty, I found a couple of fingernails/toenails which weren’t mine and the bath matt/towel was filthy when I had stepped on it after walking around barefoot, few extra hairs in the tub etc. The floors needed to be swept and mopped properly, laundry is a bit confusing to get to but its very handy to have, the street is loud but it’s NyC what do you expect maybe grab some earplugs.
The building is very safe. The hosts could have been a bit better communicating with me about stuff, but not a bad stay.
If you arrive late and are hungry, go to Empanada Mamas on Allen street for Empanadas, they are incredible.
