Marvelous 1BR with AC in vibrant New York City, steps to Empire State Building

This unit is in a great location within walking distance of lots of restaurants, shops, and sites. The unit is small and dated, the kitchen could us a few more utensils and the mattress could use a little updating. There could have been some instructions for the appliances and TV (which was very hard to figure out) but the host was very quick to respond and help us out with that. Linens and towels were great and the unit was very quiet. If you are there during colder months and are a light sleeper, the radiator right next to the bed can be a little noisy at night and the furniture in the living room is extremely uncomfortable. However, overall we enjoyed our stay.

It was okay.

Great location and apartment!! Would have loved laundry and a quieter radiator.(otherwise would have been 5 stars) Could not have asked for a better host. Great and easy communication. Would highly recommend.

I had a great stay at this apartment and would absolutely book it again if it’s available.The unit is on the ground level, but it’s located on the backside of the building and felt very safe. As a woman staying alone, I never had a single concern. I also appreciated that it’s not a studio. Having a separate bedroom from the living room and kitchen made it feel much more comfortable for a longer stay. The closet space was a bonus.The bed and pillows were comfortable, and the towels were generously sized. I actually brought my own pillows and towels because some hosts skimp in that area, but that definitely wasn’t the case here. The kitchen had almost everything I needed since I ate in frequently, and anything that wasn’t there I simply added to the collection.The building itself is quiet, and the natural light in the unit is outstanding. It never felt dark or cave-like. The water gets very hot, so just be careful, but I was grateful for consistently hot water in the city. The location is also a huge plus. It’s within walking distance to everything you need, the neighborhood is quiet, and Uber pickups were always easy.A few minor downsides: the unit could use a deeper clean in some areas, and the couch futon isn’t very comfortable, which is a shame because the living room is otherwise such a nice space. The door auto-locks behind you, which is great for security, but just be mindful when taking out the trash so you don’t accidentally lock yourself out.Overall, great!
