Buon compromesso qualità / prezzo / posizione
Pros:

Appartamento ben tenuto e in linea con le aspettative. Foto su Booking rispecchiano l'appartamento. Posizione abbastanza comoda circa 400 mt dalla fermata metro, con la quale si raggiunge in mezz'ora il "centro città".

Cons:

Esperienza alternativa, iniziata con il distaccamento delle piastrelle della doccia il primo giorno. Per i primi due giorni non abbiamo potuto lavarci ma fortunatamente l'host, Mr. James, sempre presente in caso di necessità e tempestivo nel dare supporto ha risolto il problema e ci ha scontato 2 notti dal prezzo iniziale.

Dishonest people
Pros:

Very dishonest people.

Cons:

They tried charging my card a second time a week after they received my payment in full. Then they threatened to cancel my reservation if I didn't provide the security number of my credit card. We are now taking legal action against them.

Will not recommend especially for women!!! it is not safe!
Pros:

Only thing I liked was the location

Cons:

The townhouse listing description is not what you get when you check in. there is no privacy. It is a shared space with the owner downstairs and he made me feel very uncomfortable as he came out in a robe to “workout “ at almost midnight & was shortly after seen in the nude in a open space . I didn’t stay , end up finding something else and asking for a refund after about 15 minutes on the property booking should really check into this very creepy, old man and house. It gave bad vibes. I’m actually in process of reaching out to booking headquarters for the encounter we had.

Lively and comfy stay with great location
Pros:

We were very happy in our stay. The room and bathroom was spacious, comfortable and well located. We had great communication days prior to our arrival and they were kind enough to let us drop our bags for a few hours before our check-in because we arrived super early. Even though we were mostly moving around in Brooklyn and the lower east side for work we really enjoyed the area and would love to return.

Cons:

I would say that the shower leaks a bit onto the floor outside and it was a bit mushy and messy to maintain without it becoming too wet outside the shower. Also I wouldn't say I disliked it but there's an interesting decor in the room, with the two busts coming out of the wall, but it gives it character.

Great location, unit A has feels uncomfortable right above the owner.
Pros:

Great location close to the subway with lots of places to eat, bodegas, etc. closeby. Bed was very comfortable, loveseat reclined, AC was strong, good water pressure in shower, unique and nice decor. James was polite and helpful with requests I.e. to leave coffee cups since only lids were there upon arrival.

Cons:

Towels were tiny and thin. Shower was tiny with visible mold. Most importantly we were sent a message AFTER booking that we would be above the owner and may hear him during business hours. While the bedroom had a door for privacy (lock broken), the hallway for the bathroom and lounge/kitchenette area is right above the open staircase for the owner’s area (just like walking up to the second story of a house) and you can smell their cooking and hear them at all hours of the day and night- listening to music, talking on the phone, belching, urinating with the door open, etc. Wish I would have known that before booking, would have chosen the other room (we booked Deluxe double unit A).

Pros:

Que se podía dormir ahi

Cons:

Que no es un apartamento es una habitación en la casa de otra persona,separado por una cortina con el baño fuera al lado de las escaleras que dan a donde vive otra persona. La mayor parte de los enchufes o alargadores no funcionan. El frío es considerable. La intimidad es escasa (oyes como si fuera en tu propia casa lo que pasa en el piso de abajo porque no hay nada de aislamiento). La luz es muy escasa. El día que llegamos con frío bajo cero no teníamos instrucciones de llegada nadie contestó al telefonillo y tampoco al teléfono. Milagrosamente al rato,cuando ya estábamos buscando alternativas aparecieron milagrosamente los únicos vecinos del edificio. Ellos llamaron insistentemente a la persona que vive ahí y conseguimos que abriera la puerta. La habitación estaba sin limpiar y la cama sucia..nos pidió media hora para arreglarlo. No limpio pero cambio las sábanas. La cortina de separación con su casa estaba caída. Dijo que lo arreglaría,cosa que sucedió el día anterior a volvernos. Nos ofreció una noche gratis cosa que no sé corresponde con la devolución que hizo y aún estamos reclamando la puerta del baño no cierra y el frío es considerable. Me parece increíble que ese sitio se anuncie y la atención al cliente se limitó a pasar los mensajes . No tuvimos el reembolso solicitado y nos quedamos con la terrible experiencia de estar bajo cero sin nadie que diera respuesta y la falta de mediación de los responsables en la situación..para valorar alternativas en futuros viajes

Pros:

If you're looking for a safe place to rest, this is an excellent option. It's just steps from two train stations, and if you know how to use that mode of transport, you're practically in the city. I stayed for four nights, and the owner was very attentive and friendly. 👏🏻 It's not a hotel; it's the entire second floor of the house, with a bedroom, bathroom, and living room. Personally, I would stay there again.

Cons:

Nothing bad to say at all...

Nie wieder
Cons:

Abgewohntes Mobiliar, das Bad war nur zum Waschen nutzbar, Dusche abgewrackt und unbenutzbar, Mobiliar heruntergewohnt. Kein abgeschlossenes Apartment. Vermieter konnte vom Erdgeschoss über eine Treppe ungehindert in unser Apartment.
Eine Frechheit so etwas überhaupt anzubieten. Bei Bedarf können Fotos geschickt werden.

please be careful
Pros:

Clean

Cons:

The accommodation cost on the Booking.com statement is $130.
The amount paid is $260.

The cleaning fee and taxes came out to be as much as the accommodation cost.
How could this happen...
I've been in New York for 10 days, but this is my first time experiencing something like this.
Everyone, please be careful.

Eclectic, fun place to stay, could use some upkeep.
Pros:

James our host was exceptional in his host duties, even carrying our luggage up the stairs as this unit is on the second floor. The decor was both eclectic and colorful and we loved it. Think tiling and stonework everywhere. :-D Great window view in the living room. Two big screen TV's, comfortable recliners and platform bed, overall pleasant stay.

Cons:

The property is beautiful, on a nice street but the surrounding neighborhood is not as well kept and might be a turn off to some, although our interactions with the local vendors was that they were always very nice to us, and, in fact, we never felt uncomfortable at any time.

The property owners are doing renovations, so I realize there are ongoing projects, but I was uncomfortable using the shower because it was coming apart at the tiles and looked dirty. The shower door didn't stay closed and the toilet seat was loose, so these things should be taken care of before another client comes in.

Also, there is no full kitchen, just a microwave, mini fridge, so plan to get takeout a lot.

Сплошной обман. Complete scam! Give me my money back!
Pros:

Ничего
Nothing

Cons:

нет отдельного входа - это комната в доме, отделенная ширмой от общего пространства! попросили слелать возврат, так как не дили ни дня из-за обмана - отказ и невозможность дадк для booking связаться с арендатором по этому вопросу! не вернули ни доллара, хотя обещали хотя бы за три дня вернуть! аферисты!

There's no separate entrance—it's a room in the house, separated from the common area by a screen! We asked for a refund because we didn't rent it for a day due to deception. They refused and couldn't contact the tenant regarding this issue. They didn't return a single dollar, even though they promised to return it within at least three days! Scammers!

Stylowe mieszkanie w XIX-wiecznej kamienicy na Harlemie
Pros:

Blisko do metra i Central Parku, niedaleko sklepy spożywcze i obok dobra kawiarnia.
Pierwsze trzy dni - ze względu na awarię w apartamencie - mieszkałem w małym, ale wygodnym studio na parterze. Apartament na 2 piętrze jest przestrzenny, wygodny i stylowo urządzony. Nie jest nowoczesny i wymaga drobnych napraw, ale ma fajny klimat i niczego mi nie brakowało, o co zadbał administrator James. Z tego apartamentu są wewnętrzne schody prowadzące do mieszkania na dole i czasami słychać, co kto tam mówi, ale można się zamknąć w swoim salonie. WiFi, TV, ekspres do kawy, lodówka i inne udogodnienia działały bez zarzutu z bardzo drobnymi wyjątkami.

Cons:

Światło w salonie sypialnianym można było włączać i wyłączać tylko poza pomieszczeniem, bo nie reagowało na pilota. Kilamtyzacja działała dość głośno.
