The room was separate from the bathroom; the door to the room had to be slammed shut to close it; there didn't appear to be any electrical outlets near the bed; the light switch in the room was outside the room itself, and there were no other small lights near the bed; the shower door didn't close, and you had to hold it with your hand to avoid flooding the floor; one of the sinks had a plug that didn't work and was closed, so the water wouldn't flow.

large room, well-stocked bathroom, quiet neighborhood

Can hear the other rooms. Might be beneficial to install soundproofing stuff.

Nice and accommodating owner.

There is a twin sink 1 doesn’t work not plumbed in . Shower facilities are functional , great water pressure , but be aware that the finish has a continental feel, but unfinished.

To be honest funky design , rich African culture with bespoke sculptures and art pieces .

Looks a bit like it’s falling apart. Lack of basic amenities (soap). The decor could be described as extreme(?). Bathroom smelled moldy (there’s no fan and water pools in the shower).

Spacious room and nice seating area. Michael was nice. You have a separate entrance to him.

Spent time cleaning water off of the floor, after each shower. Due to a leaking shower door.

The artwork throughout the property was beautiful . The owner was very kind and very attentive to our needs. We were also able to get parking outside of the building each night.

There were a few issues, with the bathroom. Initially some television/internet issues which the owner/host helped to resolve quickly. Also the space was a bit dated and lacked contemporary amenities. But after a few adjustments and a little patience our home away frelom home served it's purpose.

The location was perfect for our trip. The accommodations were not as expected but they were sufficient.

The pictures and description of the property were not accurate of what the property was actually like. It stated that the property would be ‘shared’ with the owner, however it would be ‘private’. It was in fact not private and quite open and the facilities were poor and old. We did not stay the night and instead felt we needed to book somewhere else as we did not feel safe here.

The host was very friendly.

Good location, close to the metro, making it easy to get around the city. Nearby supermarket options. Spacious room with a very comfortable bed. Very helpful and attentive owner.

Entrance to the building needs some work, it had a humidity smell which activated my allergies for a little, also the first night was very hard to sleep since they had construction going on. The door was doubled locked the following night so we realized someone was there on the property while we were there staying. “Mr Mike” was nice and helped us get back in, yet we were so confused of what was going on.

Decoration is nice

They cancelled our stay and we were left trying to find a place to go.

They cancelled our stay while standing on the door step

Photos in the listing were not of the room we were given. Although listed as an apartment, this was just a bedroom and a bathroom.

The raised bed platform is a tripping hazard at night. The lights were extremely dim/ most of the lightbulbs were burnt out.

Below ground Widows don’t work A door that can access your room from other side Gives you unsafe feeling Being below street level and it rained small flooding appeared in foyer to the room Musty due to no ventilation

Needs better plug sockets, maybe a long extension lead.

Very interesting little apartment with eclectic design choices. Comfortable and cosy. Good location, close to lots of food and transport. Stone's throw from Central Park north. Good hosts who just let me get on with it.

I recently traveled to New York City and found this short term stay on booking.com. I found this rental very convenient for my stay. The main thing about it was the transportation convenience . It was only two blocks away from the subways and buses. The area here many restaurants and stores surrounding it. I visited the Apollo theater that was only seven blocks away and took in a Broadway show. I like the privacy aspect of this property because it had a separate guest entrance. It also had a private bedroom and bathroom and a lounge area with a recliner, dinette set, with a microwave and refrigerator for my convenience. Its has a private entrance from the owners suite. The host was very helpful and gracious. I would definitely stay at this property again.

As two girls we felt very unsafe in the area. The bathroom was very dirty we didn’t even wanted to take a shower. Also there was a strange smell in the room. My friend and I found another place to stay because we didn’t want to sleep there. There are many drug addicts in the area

Easy to get there from the subway

This place is terrible: Photos are Dated. Run down. Dirty. No heating. No privacy. No working power points. Excess junk / rubbish in the room. The owner has access to the room & when I complained about no heating he said to leave my bedroom door unlocked & open so the heat from his place downstairs could come up to my room, I did not feel safe here & had to leave. I have sent a complaint to customer service but have had no reply. I am trying to get a refund.

Nothing

The listing on Booking should make it clear that guests need to contact the owner in advance to get the code to the key box a few other helpful details. Fortunately, Michael was there and let me in with no problem.

The location was great. Beautiful brownstone street, convenient to four different subway lines, with plenty of services within a block or two. Michael was an excellent and gracious host, and the space is lovely and unique.
