First, I am Johanna's partner, she was not with me.
I liked the neighborhood, close to Union square, between university and popular culture.
The room itself has a comfortable bed, drawers for my things, a table and a desk. You can open the windows (only in your room) and although you can hear the street, the brightness and the lite view on the roofs make it pleasant.
You could use the kitchen, but good luck, because then you will have an inspection report (see part below).
Sure, the bathroom is uncomfortable and many places are fixed rather than repaired, the room has light while the whole apartment is dark and musty because no window is ever open.
But the owner ... In short: he didn't want me to be there (although I had booked for 14 days). He made me feel it from the 2nd day until the end. He spent his time criticizing my actions and thoses of people before me. It makes you feel like you can easily "do it wrong". I didn't expect to pass a test!
To get from the room to the kitchen or the Wc, you have to go through his room. And he is there all the time - except for 2 hours early in the morning.
We even almost had a conflict because of the noise, when clearly you are going to disturb him all the time, since his room is in your way. For me, the situation itself was designed to put me in a position to disturb him.
For a week he didn't talk to me, not even "hello". I left very early in the morning and came back late at night to avoid reprimands.
I had chosen to live in a New Yorker's house on purpose to get to know the culture and not be just a consumer tourist. What a mistake!
The worst, and I'm really not happy about this, is that he comes in the room when I'm not there, to put his mug back and take mine away. It sounds incredible, but several times, a mug that I had bought was put away in the kitchen, and instead, he put his own mug. I don't think he realizes how shocking it is when a stranger comes in and moves your stuff without your consent.
If cancellation and refund had been available, I would have paid more to go somewhere else. You will feel like you are being controlled all the time. I should have read the comments better.
I'm really sorry he took out his frustrations on me. Plus, I don't think he does it on purpose, and that's kind of sad. He constantly has a stranger in his house, and I don't think he sees that it's weighing on him.

The location of the building, also if it is one of the few sketchy building, weird people leave there.
The room is really small, the bed is not comfortable, the heat in the room is unsane (also if there is a fan which you can use all night but is noisy)
we didn't have a nice night, too hot!!!! New York in August is super humid!!! You need AC mandatory!
The bathroom is super small, not practical
It s on the 5th floor no lift and there are a lot of steps', also for a young healthy person.
The owner lives next to your bedroom, so as a woman with my daughter wasn't comfortable, beside you share the small bathroom.
Absolutely disappointed!

Our room was really cosy and bright. The location could not be better. Also,I should mention that the host was very helpful when our flights rescheduled and we were in trouble. Thank you again, Chris!

The location is good and easy to get around but can be really loud at night so we can’t sleep.
properly is really bad, I don’t like a small room with old things around, nor really clean abs messy. it’s all full of owner staff and the owner is really strange. I did brake a small plastic container at the kitchen and he make up so big deal of it. We replace it with a new container but he don’t like it abs ask us to pay him 20$ for it. The owner is always home, all the windows in a aprt looked so it’s really feels to small and not nice dark inside.

The location is just amazing. The bunk bed was very comfortable. Chris was friendly and nice to love with, even in such a tight space. Everything was very clean.
You have to be aware that it's a very small apartment and you live very close together. Also it's 5 sets of stairs.

The apartment was really nice, in a very good place. The owner is really helpful and doesn't intrude you in any way.
6.0
The location is amazing and with the shops and restaurants within walking distance and spoil for choice. Kitchen and facility is decent.
The apartment is on the 5th floor and the steps can be very inclined for a more mature traveller.
The room is full of items belonging to the owner occupier which I find uncomfortable. It fairly large. The bunk bed unfortunately is not to my liking. The bed covers is ok but I have serious issues with the pillow and pillow case as they both smell badly. Fortunately there was a spare bed sheet which I used to cover. The toilet/bathroom is dated.

It was a perfect location only 3-5min from the subway. Calm and cozy. I loved it.
Highly recommend!

It's a 5 floor walkup and the first time taking those stairs is a beast!
