Neighborhood is rough, definitely prepare to take an Uber ($25-$30) after dark each night because the pink line at any hour after is a gamble with safety;
The room is an awkward part of the house, right next to the bathroom and front entrance, aswell as the main stairwell going upstairs and a doorway from the kitchen.
Bed: No box spring just a mattress on a cheap frame, left my back hurting extremely after day 2, and still is sore now 3 days later.
The seals on the windows have mold around them and also do not shut properly, making th room extremely cold at night being close to the homes front; (Get ready to nightsweat as your body try’s to keep warm)
There were random people coming in and out of the home constantly: (all hours of the night and day:
This caused me too loose much sleep every night from having to hear the extremely loud other tenants in the home (7-9 people on any given night or day). (Slamming microwaves, doors, talking on the phone out loud inconsiderably on speaker, having guests over in the main living room (a doorway from the room) until almost 2am every night.
The bathroom (which is awkwardly directly infront of the main stove and kitchen) went without toilet paper or the replacement for 2 days. Finally when I had had enough of using the restroom while out, I found a box of rolls laying in the hallways which I replaced myself. (The host could/should have easily done it himself but I guess chose not to.)
There were also sanitary concerns:
When I arrived the bathroom trash was overflown, and was not yet emptied when I checked out (3 1/2 days later). There was also a package of raw chicken that sat out on the counter for 2+ days (not frozen or being thawed just out and open).
The floor within the room and home were also extremely dirty, so much that trying to walk bearfoot in the room left a black residue almost immediately after setting foot.
All and all, there are much better place to stay, (I’d recommend the Warwick, where I am currently staying for the remainder of my stay in the city)
Stay safe, choose wisely, and thanks for reading my review, home it ads some perspective from someone whose has stayed/lives in 25+ Airbnb’s’ in the last 2yrs for work.
