I should start this by saying I’ve never written a negative review as all my experiences thus far have been extremely transparent, easy and on par with what was offered. Pros: - The price of this place is pretty fantastic considering the neighborhood you are in. I had to make a last minute change to my itinerary while traveling and came across this listing as it was close to another Air B&B I would be staying in. It was close and affordable. - Jorge’s directions from the airport were spot on and fantastic. - Most of the people in the apartment were quite kind. Cons: - Who runs this place? I never received a confirmation upon booking from the renter so I was a bit stressed coming from the airport “are we all set, is this a definitive deal?”. I wrote a message from the bus coming from the airport and received an immediate reply from a woman who said she would be there to assist me (thanks!). - Filthy. When I walked in my heart sank. The place wreaked of cigarettes, multiple ashtrays filled with cigarette butts, two other renters smoking inside the only room with no windows, stuff all over the living room. The kitchen was a mess and the two bathrooms were filthy. Again I’m not one to give random bad reviews but this was truly frustrating considering nothing about the reviews nor description of the place would have set my expectation to this. I’m also a smoker which is why i don’t mind smoking rentals but I assumed (presumptuously) considering each bedroom had a balcony there wouldn’t be smoking in the one room with no windows surrounded by bedrooms. In whom ever’s defense (as I’m not sure who does the cleaning what not) it appeared the bathroom was cleaned on my last day. - Who are these dudes? Ten minutes after checking in one of the two men staying in the apartment was urinating with the door open. I’m no prude, far from it but dude really? - WiFi didn’t work for me the whole time I was there. I attempted multiple times but it didn’t work with the password given. - Noise. This is in no way a reflection of Jorge or whom ever is renting the space but the location. I will say they admit it’s loud but to the degree of loudness I think it’s a little understated. Ultimately this is up to you as a renter to determine. I’m a heavy sleeper. I’ve lived in coops in the past and the lower east side in NYC. I’ve never had such a hard time falling asleep. I went to bed around 330/4am each night. If you are on a budget, think you may be out late at night and don’t mind copious amounts of noise then you shouldn’t mind. - Lack of transparency. Per reading some of the other reviews I can see Jorge doesn’t take well to negative feedback. So be it....
