We had studio #10 for 4 adults and the place was clean and what the pictures show.  The check in & out process was quick and efficient.  Everything we asked for the office staff was quick to provide us with.  The staff was pleasant.  

Nice location

This is a room on a budget which is what I needed. There's a bit more noise and food smells than I expected but the space was clean and safe which was most important. Plus, again, the location is PERFECT. Also, Min, the person checking us in and responding to my emails, was such a nice person. He is also sending back my charger which I left in the room. Overall, i would tell others to go and would myself, stay there again.

Perfect location

This lodging was 2 blocks from Madison Square Gardens & a quick walk from Penn Station (took the train from JFK). Bathroom looked newly remodeled, room very chic with exposed brick. Check-in quick & easy, staff friendly & helpful. Won't stay again b/c the surprise additional cleaning fee (cash only) put the price up with actual hotels that include breakfast & less sketchy elevator. 

Convenient

with the amount of money we paid for the property, it was quite okay. although the cleanliness needs to be improved. the security guard and the host were friendly and helpful. other than that, the room was 3/5. beds were nice and comfy. bathroom was ok. but the common areas are a little dusty and some corner has strands of hair. we also spotted some insects in the room. GREAT location though. but I will find other airbnbs if the price is still affordable. 

What you pay is what you get

Great location  so easy to get around to all the major sights, but basic and with little improvements could be so much better. More toiletries and updated furniture. On the plus side great location and v friendly staff and v clean.

New York at your fingertips

It’s not much more than a flop house. Absolutely shocking! Stayed one night only if the 9 nights and couldn’t escape fast enough. It was noisy, it was depressing and my fault really for not checking the ratings before I pressed the book button!! Might be ok for 18yo backpackers 

Worst of the worst

The only good thing about this place is the central location. Staff are miserable, rooms are tired and extremely small and basic. And for the whole time we were there there was building works going on right outside that were noisy the whole night so don’t go in the next few months if you want any sleep!!

Awful

AVOID this place at all costs

I booked his apartment through booking.com(who are equally terrible to deal with). On arrival into NY I find an email sent a couple hours previous which was during my flight informing me the apartment had cancelled our booking due to the fact they had "no hot water" or "clean sheets"
What utter BS ! This left 3 of us stranded with no accommodation late at night... 

What was different for us is we booked 3 bedroom which is difficult to find in NY for reasonable price. Booking.com clearly didn't want us to find accommodation ourselves without booking it via there platform in order to get commission and offered no immediate refund to our group to allow us book somewhere else. They are terrible to deal with....

From speaking to locals in NY in the industry it's quite likely the apartment was listed and sold else where for a much higher price hence they cancelled our booking to get the higher rate. (Not confirmed but booking.com told me this has happened with the apartment company before doing similar)

Needless to say DO NOT BOOK HERE... 

NB- The hotel suggested in the email (photo) wasnt available on booking.com when we tried to book it either... 

Cancelled reservation a few hours before arrival 

If your on a budget and do not care about a room then stay here otherwise avoid. The only good thing is it’s location, a block away from Empire State Building. My 3 children surprised me by joining us on our New York visit and was booked in here. If it didn’t cost so much money we would have moved them to our hotel after we visited it. My daughters words “my room at Uni is better then here.” The apartment itself was clean, had everything they needed, fridge, oven, kettle etc TV and wifi. There was a double bed in the bedroom area next to the bathroom and they had 2 put-you-up beds in the living area creating, no room to move around safely. It also looked like it was someones apartment who rented it out, a Christmas tree was on top of the roof housing the bathroom and a padlock was on the main door. Couldn’t see out of the window, which also had the a/c attached to it. No curtains and a light shone through it. Staff are not friendly, when they handed their keys back they were rewarded with the words “Thanks,” nothing else. Stairs up, as lift is slow and constantly in use, are dark and on the whole not pleasant. I could write a lot more about it but as stated at the beginning, if you don’t have high expectations, on a budget and only want a room as a base then it’s ideal otherwise Avoid.

Low expectations, ideal place

very DIRTY and UGLY place. the entrance was horrible, full of garbage, the smell was unbearable. the receptionist was in a small desk in the middle of piles of dirt and linen from the beds... i that moment i asked the woman why the photos are diffrent in the web and why it is in construction with plastics covering walls everywhere. she was very arrogant. the bathrooms were so dirty and with mold. she said she will send someone to clean which never happened. we ended up going somewhere else... no money back either. the worst experience....
