This house is a scam. Because it's merely uninhabitable. No heating. No glass in the window. The frame is fulled with non-transparant plastic AND a piece of cardboard fixed by ADHESIVE TAPE. Just go to NYC dot gov site and see that this property is a subject of multiple code violations. Plus - unsanitary! In fact, in the major search engine listings this property is seen as "permanently closed". Only through this service this scam continues.
More details:
The rate for this is $206 per night.
The building where Macaw Guest House situated is inhabitable. In particular:
there was no heating in the room I was given. Temperature inside the room was the same as outside, about 60F.
The window was unglazed. Instead of the glass the window frame was filled with nontransparent plastic and a piece of cardboard fixed with adhesive tape.
all electric outlets were extremely worn and not holding plugs, at some spots the wiring was opened.
The description of the room as it appears on the Hotels dot com website is false: The bunk bed that's described as “select comfort bed” is a swaying, unstable rusty construction that makes noise and appears to be close to falling apart.
No any “City View”, just a wall of the front building. That can be rather sensed than seen as the window has no glass, but covered with non-transparent plastic, cardboard and adhesive tape.
Also, the bedding and the towel was not fresh smelly.
The shared bathroom was rusty, with many sports of mold.
