New York Next - Furnished Rooms and ApartmentsReviews of newyorknext.com

I rented an apartment with Alohause for 4 months last year. I have to admit that I was a bit worried at first, after reading many bad reviews about the company. But now that my semester is over I can testify. My experience with them was good: They were available for inquiries, the apartment matched my expectations and I got my deposit back. The only thing with them is that you have to be very patient. You need to rerun several times to get a result. Also I would not recommend renting an apartment close to Times square. The noise is very tiring.

Furnishing: The furnishing is awesome and they gave us everything that we need. The place is also super clean. Agent: The agent that introduced me to the apartment working under them is very helpful and kind. He answered all my questions patiently and even helped me open my bank account here.

I had a lease through alohause (they use the same social media as NYN so I assume it's all one company) and I didn't really have any problems with the company itself. My biggest complaint is that they were airbnb-ing one of the rooms out (even though I had asked if they did this before I moved in and they told me they didn't). It was really annoying considering I had no idea when random people would just show up in my apartment and no one wants to live with a new pair of tourists every other weekend. I was lucky that 3 of us had signed actual leases so there was only one room that could have possibly been rented out. The room I moved into wasn't well cleaned when I arrived (a lot of dust, marks on the walls, drawers were dirty etc) but it is NYC so I honestly wasn't surprised by it. Another annoying part of my stay is one of my roommates really sucked - he was super aggressive, left his stuff all over the couch, never did his dishes, smoked inside all the time and had stolen the TV cord so no one could watch TV - but I can't really blame the company for how he acted and it is the chance you take when deciding to live with strangers. I did get my security deposit back about 2.5 weeks after I moved out so I didn't have a problem there, but I did hound them about it (NYC laws only give renters 14 days to return security deposits and they tried to tell me I wouldn't get it back for 2 months). I read a lot of reviews saying security deposits weren't returned, but I think if you make it clear that you know the law states they only have 2 weeks to return it then they should return it without a problem. Overall my stay was fine, but I probably wouldn't recommend living at 1600 broadway unless you're coming as a tourist and don't plan on staying for long.

Awesome experience - Very accommodating and beautiful apartments. Made it easy for me as an international student to get accommodation in my preferred area! Easy process and amazing follow up. My room was an absolute pleasure and I truly enjoyed staying with other likeminded (student) people like myself. If you're looking for a private furnished room in Manhattan - this is truly recommended!

1600 Broadway is a beautiful building. Unfortunately, the once luxury apartments have been divided into tiny pieces and New York Next is renting them out to any random person. The leases are short-term, no-questions-asked. It's unfortunate as this is a historic building in Times Square that is being exploited for some extra cash. If I owned an apartment in this building, I would sell it ASAP due to New York Next.

Stayed there for 3 month and the kitchen and bathroom was very unhygienic. I also didn't get my security deposit back! They didn't respond to my emails I sent them about the issue with my security deposit, even as I contacted a lawyer.

This company is a scam. I left after one month and will never return. I am writing this review to warn others. STAY AWAY. They have several names in order to avoid being noticed -- Alohause, Lewin and Kaplan Enterprise, New York Next, Aloha, etc. I found them through Airbnb and it was so bad. Then I found out and confirmed that they arbitrarily set the rates for the rooms and steal your security deposit. Still waiting for it to this day. I paid $100 for monthly cleaning and no one came. My apartment had flooding and utility issues and they never contacted the building to come and fix them. They don't check for anyone's background and I had criminals, crazy people, and gang people as roommates. People just randomly move in and the company says nothing at all. Plus, they showed me photos of the room I booked and a list amenities only for me to get there and the room was TOTALLY different with amenities missing. The photos showed my room having a closet but I came and there was no closet. Nevermind trying to contact them about anything (literally even if you are dying they do not care -- they only care about money). They will never pick up. Stay far, far away from this company! I was able to find a much cheaper, cleaner, and safer place. AVOID THIS COMPANY.

Had a fairly decent experience for a few months until I moved out and did not receive my security deposit back ( I moved out in September and it is now January). Phone number doesn’t work and they no longer answer your emails. Not OK!! Will not recommend to anyone.
