We overall had a great stay in New York, and the apartment is conveniently located, close to Times Square, Central Park, the riverfront, and the main subway lines. Communication with the host was very easy, with fast replies and clear instructions. The two things that made us remove a star are: 1) the downstairs neighbor who seems to be regularly complaining about the noise made by footsteps. This was communicated by the host ahead of time, but it stressed us out a bit, especially because we were travelling with a toddler. On top of that, the unit has a very old wooden floor that is extremely creaky. It is impossible to walk across the apartment without making a sound (even without shoes). Luckily, the day we arrived, we saw the neighbor leave with a suitcase, and we assumed he was gone for the week. 2) While the pictures and description of the apartment are accurate, the adjective "Luxurious" is an oversell. Paint is peeling in multiple places (especially on the ceiling), the couch wasn't super clean, the door locks are somewhat finicky, and the Klevio system to unlock the lobby's door with your phone relies on an extension cord that has been repaired with electrical tape and is plugged into the bathroom's outlet in a way that is certainly not up to code. In summary, a good, older apartment that is very conveniently located (a huge plus) and has a fantastic host/support team, but that is not as "luxurious" as the description implies.
