NOT in The Flatiron District
VRBO advertises this apartment as in the flat iron district. It is actually 22 blocks north of the flat iron district so not even close! The apartment, title, or name, states “Hells kitchen”, which is accurate. Because you’re not given an address until three days before check-in, we assumed the apartment would be located on the border of hell’s kitchen and the flat iron district. However, It is only a few blocks away from Times Square, so definitely not the area we wanted to be in.The check-in process was a bit bumpy as the lockbox code provided via text that morning did not work. The management was responsive, however, and gave us the accurate code. There is also a combination lock on an iron gate, which was never mentioned. We were unable to exit the apartment early in the morning until we spoke to management who gave us the code.The apartment itself has been nicely renovated. The kitchen and bathrooms are updated and the exposed brick is beautiful. It also has a lot of storage which was nice and unexpected.We were looking forward to using the outdoor space but instructions on how to access it was not provided until asked, and when we did go up to the rooftop, the view was beautiful, but we were surrounded by trash and empty beer bottles.The apartment is in desperate need of paint, but expected in a short term rental, and the dressers were mostly unusable because the drawers were broken and or full of linens. Overall a good stay if you want to be in this area.
