This is an older building, needs updates. Limited outlets. Two long staircases, hard on people who aren’t fit.Limited parking. We parked in loading zone and unloaded, then had someone go park in a garage and walk back. (Less than a mile away, 30-40 a night which is normal for the region.)Dormitory style apartment. Generous kitchen, but no living area. 5 double beds. Only one “bedroom.” The other four are in pairs in adjacent rooms with a curtain between. Works well for families or close friends. Beds ranged from firm to soft, generally comfortable. Bathroom: recent work, including new shower head. Ample water pressure and hot water.Cleanliness: The cleaners could have done better in the bathroom after the drywall work and the kitchen sink had used sponges. But there were no bugs or signs of rodents. I have terrible allergies and would have reacted to dust, mold, or pet dander. I was fine. Not perfectly neat but it was clean.Two issues: a few windows don’t close very well and the oven wasn’t working. Host has been alerted and neither of these caused any issue for us.Host: Geo messaged and called me when I had concerns and even sent me a video tour of the property. He texted us twice during our stay and had more towels delivered promptly when asked.Summary: if you are visiting NYC and need a safe place to sleep and shower this is a great option. Buses to and from Port Authority only a few blocks away. Nice neighborhood, and Geo was a great host. We enjoyed our stay!
