The takeaway: this place is affordable, in a great location, and clean, but lacks creature comforts. If that's all you need to know, stop reading. If anxiety about what will or will not be in your rental keeps you awake the week before a trip, keep reading. Stayed here for 3 nights with my two teens. Location is fantastic - less than 5 min walk to the 42nd St PABT subway. 10-15 minutes walk to the Intrepid Museum and many theatres. One minute walk to bodegas, restaurants, coffee, Target. The apartment was clean; however, the bathroom could use a refresh (peeling paint, loose floor tiles). The shower curtain is clear, which makes sharing the bathroom a bit awkward. That said, everything works. The beds are comfy. The sheets and towels feel new/clean. No hand towels or washcloths. The kitchen had paper towels, trash bags, and some zipper baggies. The listing photos show a Keurig machine, which isn't there. The only snag I had during check-in was the buzzer listed in the instructions did not work. The host responded quickly and had us use a buzzer for a different unit in the building. (I thought this was odd, but I'm giving the host the benefit of the doubt). There's only one key to get through the main entry door, so that might be inconvenient if you're not all together. There's no interior security lock on the door as there would be in a hotel room. It's a bit loud at night, but we slept well.
