This is the first time for me to use airbnb, planning road trip for 7 ladies from NYC and stopped at different states. I read the reviews, asked the host questions, seem all good. Booked it on May 27 and tried to get familiar at house rules, however the host preferred to email me on June 12, and letting me know 2 issues with the apartment which he thought not affecting our stay. However, if I pay $885, I want everything works and being notified right away for any issues, which he knew the issue right after the booking, but failed not notify me until June 12. We check in June 15. This was not fair to me. It’s like it is what is, he consider small issues like one of the shower jet/head not working, TV acting weird, turn on this and that and it works 1st time…but with 7 people ??? Forget it after that.

Positive:
Very nice and clean apartment, ample of rooms, closets etc, provide everything: shampoo, soaps, towels, cooking oils, even detergent and bleach which we appreciate all, take out menus, I admired the set up, the nice shower, 10 mins from downtown, we ended up driving everything, more economical and convenience for us. Good communication.

Negative:
In pages of house rules, he didn’t mention about residential parking permit, at Fry St. I found a stack decal permit at kitchen counter, I had to move the car at the next morning before 9AM from the other street, and all parking was FULL. I figured to use one of decal and park it at residential area, being I rented a rental car, I couldn’t stick/affixed to the windshield. I GOT A TICKET. It will be nice for the warning or mentioned at long house rules that host had. I text messages about it, but host chosen to ignore, I didn’t ask him to pay, I just want to know the method how to fight the ticket and my options.
