New York Apartment - Studio in Upper East Side (NY-15831)

Location of the apartment is great, everything is close by and in walking distance. It was also very clean. Doorman and people at the front desk were very nice and responsive.
It was very quiet considering we were in Manhattan. Condition of the apartment was not very pleasant. Bed was almost impossible to sleep in since it was hard as rock, and once I removed the sheets to get them washed it was not very clean and neither were the pillows. I guess because they were old. I would suggest the owner to try and sleep on them and see for him self. But I guess what you pay is what you get, but for $2300 (and I know that is a great price for Upper East side) you should at least have a decent bed. It certainly does not look like in the pictures. We came from Washington state and were there for my moms surgery, so the criteria is different and so are the prices compared to Manhattan.
I guess we're not impressed with New York and cost of living in general.

The apartment was in the area that I wanted. However the building was incredibly run down. The advert on NY Habitat showed laundry facilities and those weren't available. You had to pay a daily rate for internet and the internet did not work properly for a week. The air conditioning unit was full of mould and mildew so when I turned it on the first night I woke up to a load of mess on the floor underneath the AC unit. The men at the front desk were helpful and polite. But the building in general is in very bad condition.

Everything was good except the kitchen, I had all the supplies needed (forks, knifes, spoons, 2 plates, 2 bows, 2 pans, toaster, coffee maker and water heater), but the stove was in really bad conditions. The bed was fine, a little bit uncomfortable, but nothing to be worried about. The bathroom was great. The TV had just 5 channels, so I almost didn't use it during my stay. The air conditioner worked pretty good, but it was a little bit noise.

The neighborhood was the biggest problem. The bridge in front of the building caused a lot of noise and next to the building it had something that looked like a men night club, but if you walked just half of a block, you were surprised with 2 avenues with a lot of stores (2nd avenue) and restaurants (1st avenue). Just 1 block away has a food market, which is really nice, a little bit expensive, but great and not crowded. The subway is just 2 blocks away, so that wasn't a problem.

The doormen are really courteous. Didn't have any experience with rats, cockroach, or any animals. The public circulation area smells like cigarette, but inside the apartment you can`t even smell it, so that was ok. No problems with neighbors.

Generally it is a nice apartment, except the apartment's door lock has broken.The owner is good.

First, this apartment is right next to the bridge and the traffic is really really loud. Also the AC is really old and loud. We tried to find people to fix it, but they told us it's a bad quality AC and wouldn't able to fix us.

The most annoying thing is!!! The apartment I got is not what on the picture!!!DON'T GET TRICKED! I only got an apartment with one bed and they refuse to switch to a two beds apartment! Horribly service!!.. Also also there is a weird smell in the room all the time!!!!
