Disliked: Cleanliness
Off the bat two months in advance, communication with the owner was a bit hard- had to call/text him at number provided after Vrbo messages didn't get any responses. He was responsive on text and accommodating to our needs which was appreciated. Upon arrival though, communication is with his partner/property manager, Amanda, who lives locally and manages the cleaning of this property. The location of this home is great, right next to The New School, and plentiful restaurants and stores, and key subway stops. It's a studio with a nice kitchen, TV, pull out couch, desk, closet, and has an air mattress option. The biggest issue was cleanliness - things were left so dirty all around, towels smelled, big dust bunnies everywhere, dusty vents. Our allergies were acting up even more (also due to spring weather), and falling asleep was difficult due to a 24hr bright light from a nearby window that beams into this unit - some kind of blackout curtain is definitely needed. Laundry is located in the basementand we had been told there was on laundry card for our use, but we had issues with that too. Amanda was quick to respond and turned up to get us a new laundry card and come clean all the dirty things left behind, so that was appreciated that they tried to rectify what they could. But it's evident that communication between the owner and manager isn't too great, and I'm not sure who's checking the property after it's "cleaned" by staff. We'd like to stay again if it can shape up.
