Dexter House,

345 West 86th Street, Manhattan, New York, United States

"Terrible flophouse. Realtor who runs Steve’s rooms charges an astonishing $3000 for roach infested room in a building that has one tiny elevator for 186 units. Really disgusting"

"I have stayed here twice, cheap and cheerful, close to the subway and to shops, has a bed, TV, shower, toilet and was very cheap for Manhattan."

"So this place is heavily infested with bed bugs and roaches. The realtor who exclusively rents the apartments in the building will shamelessly rent you a room that he is fully aware has bedbugs. Moving out this year was the best decision I've ever made.. Also also, they're not supposed to function as a hotel/hostel anymore, but they still do. They keep some long term residents living there so they appear to be an apartment building on the books"

"Loved my visit."

"I lived here for almost 8 years and it was the best living situation for me in NYC up until that time! It was also the longest I lived anywhere in my young adult life. It was right in the heart of the residential Upper West Side. Riverside Park was my backyard and Central Park within walking or jogging distance. 1 train was 1 1/2 blocks away. The employees were always helpful and considerate. Luis was great! Left because I got married and we needed more space. I definitely would have stayed had we not needed more space though. Thanks for a perfect 8 years!"
