New York

We phoned the morning of our arrival before we boarded our airplane and there was no answer and no way to leave a voice mail. We tried again when we landed -- same thing. We arrived at the property at 2 PM and tried again -- same thing. A resident of the building let us in so that we did not have to stand on the street, but we were unable to reach anyone. She said that other potential guests had arrived and experienced the same thing. We called you and you said your systems were down and to call back in an hour. As you can imagine, this is completely unacceptable. We made new arrangements for new accommodations and cancelled this property. We received a full refund, but quite frankly, anything less would have also been unacceptable. I told your representative during the cancel call that you should remove this property from your list of offerings.

Awful

I was very disappointed. The cable TV does not exist! There's a small antenna that received 4 stations with significant interference. There was no cable wire to the wall, no cable box and no cable remote control.The king size sofa bed is a 3/4 sized futon - it opened onto the floor providing about 4 inches of foam over a hard floor. A 3-4 inch twin mattress with a stained cover was in the bedroom closet. The sheets provided were full sized. Can not imagine sharing the futon with a second person.Bed in the bedroom was not very comfortable either.Apartment was not well supplied; for example, no dish towel or paper towels in kitchen and only 1/2 roll of toilet paper. Also no facecloths - this is a US accommodation, so would have expected it.Curtains in bedroom could not be closed if you wanted to run the window air conditioner (it was in the 90's, so we did). There should be a blind or shade that can afford privacy.On the p!us side - the wifi was very fast.

Property was misrepresented - not nearly up to par

Negatives:1.  The supposed 500 sq ft unit is poorly laid out for 4 people to stay (2 adults + 2 little kids).  The layout, with the stove and a large fridge took away a lot of usable space compared to a nominally smaller hotel room (say a 300 sq ft one)..  It was meant to be an apartment for 1 adult (perhaps a couple of slim build) to live.  As my wife noted, the bathroom sink is tiny.   The photographs on Expedia are factually accurate, but helped by an unusal bright day and the skills of the photographer.2.  There is no ventilation.  There is a window air conditioner in the bedroom closet, but it's not install.  There is no vent in the entire unit otherwise.  The unit was as a result extremely stuffy while outside temperature is not higher than 70 degree in the days leading to our 1 night stay.3.  Next door to the unit is a personal trainer's studio.  The loud stumping is felt throughout the apartment from 7:30am to 9am, presumbly when the most of the customers finish their workout and go off to work.  I shudder to think what it might be like in the apartment on a weekend day.Pluses:The location of the apartment is decent, only about 6 minutes walk to the subway, and the neighborhood seems in the process of being gradually "gentrified" -- something like the Alphabet City (aka "East Village") 5-10 years ago.

Pictures Can Be Deceiving

Everything was great! Great communication with the owner. Of we needed something they were there to help. Enjoyed every bit of our stay!
