2-Bedroom Apartment in the Historic Mansfield Residence - in the Heart of NYC

Excellent communication with the owner. Great location.

Our family of five stayed 4 nights - this location was perfect for everything we wanted to do. We requested a rollaway bed which fit nicely in the living room corner. We also requested extra towels which were delivered the next day. Laundry in basement was convenient for our stacked travels. There was also a shared kitchen in the basement but we didn’t use it. In room mini fridge and microwave worked for our needs. It’s NYC so it’s hard to avoid noise (especially the night the Knicks won the championship!) but generally a quiet cross street close to the action.

Great location , love the area, 2 bedrooms but TV’s in bedrooms not working. Delayed response from host. Kitchenette is really just microwave and fridge. Very minimal.

I think this listing has the potential to be excellent for the price and location, especially being in the heart of NYC. But I also feel the owner would benefit from addressing some of the consistent concerns that guests have mentioned repeatedly in reviews, many of which I had read before arriving.For example, when guests mention broken window blinds that let excessive sunlight into the room, or point out that the sofa is uncomfortable and not really usable, those are issues worth fixing. Even small investments and basic upkeep would make a noticeable difference to the overall experience.Another recurring complaint mentioned by previous guests was the bathroom sink clogging, and unfortunately we experienced that as well. That said, to their credit, when I called about it one evening, it had been fixed by the time we returned from our excursion the next day. I do think kudos are deserved for responding promptly once the issue was reported.My family and I still enjoyed aspects of our stay, and we understand that value accommodations come with trade-offs. At the same time, vacations are something people spend limited time and money on, so basic comfort and upkeep matter.
