Times Square Stylish 5-Bedroom, 3-Bath Chic Duplex Apartment

Ease of checkin and checkout

Everything was great and as described in the listing! Great spot!

Pretty good overall but on balance not sure we save much money over a hotel. The checkin was great and host was flexible on checkout although we didnt need it in the end. Location is great (Times Square walkable) etc. However, the downstairs rooms have a pretty low ceiling. The single room has an AC that can only be controlled via on/off switch but it has a heating pipe running though it so hard to get that right in winter. In the end a solid choice.

We were a little disappointed with some of the amenities. No dish towels, no toilet paper holders, no hooks in the entry hall or bathrooms to hang things on. There was an obviously pre-existing plumbing leak in one of the single bedrooms that keaked on the bed when someone showered so we had to move the bed out of the way. There was no wifi when we checked in - turns out someone had unplugged the router and it worked fine once we discovered what the trouble was. The rug under the dining table was dirty and seemed worn. The shower door on the main floor seemed to be installed improperly as it made a loud scraping noise when trying to open or close it. There was no welcome book with instructions of any kind which we have always found helpful elsewhere. For the price we paid we expected more. Maybe our expectations for a mid-town Manhattan apartment described as "chic" were too high. It was located convenient to everything we wanted to do.
