Disliked: Cleanliness
Alright for a couple nights
We'll start with the positives. The host was nice. He gave decent instructions on how to find the apt and introduced himself in person, asking if we needed anything for our stay. Upon request, he gave us some towels to use for the shower and also offered some bottle iced coffee to drink. The property was also a somewhat short drive to NYC.
Now for the negatives. Property was not in the best area. There were many vagrants and broken down cars on adjacent streets. Though they weren't out front of the property, the closest available street parking was always on one those streets. Also, the door to the apartment is down a narrow alley down the side of the building. It's pitch black at night, though there is a light that turns on when you get right in front of the door. Despite being a rough neighborhood, the front door did not have a deadbolt. Inside the apartment, it's easily noticeable that the apartment is not the cleanest. The beds have mildew/mold on them. We put dropcloths over the beds to sleep on them. The words "THIS PLACE ASS" were also carved into the wall on one of the bedrooms, presumably by a previous tenant. There was also water coming through the wall between the bathroom and the kitchen, where it would pool under the kitchen table. It didn't seem to be wastewater and we didn't trust using the kitchen anyway, so I just let the host know and avoided sitting at the table.
Overall, the property was ok for a couple nights. Would not recommend for longer than that.
