The posting indicated that street parking was easy to find. This turned out to be damn-near impossible in that part of Brooklyn. We had to search for an hour looking for street parking, and had to move the car every few days to comply with NYC street cleaning ordinances. Street-wide double parking was rampant in the neighborhood. We could only find parking over a mile away from the apartment and had to walk 30 minutes to and from. It was a great waste of time.
The posting indicated there was a nice patio deck available to the guests. When we asked the host how to access it, he told us he will have to be present to let us onto the patio. He works during the day, so was only able to give us access in the evenings. Moreover, he didn't tell us this outdoor patio was a non-smoking facility.
There was a "chaperone" under the employment of the host. She came by and lingered about the unit until the guests wet to sleep every evening. Initially we thought she was just another traveller. Then we noticed she came by around 7pm every day, made food for herself, and hung out in the kitchen and living area on her phone. Once, she stayed until 2am. When she leaves, she knocks on the host's door on the first floor to check in with him. Finally, she retires into the basement. Our guess is she lives there.
Nowhere in the posting was it indicated there were three bedrooms, and we would be sharing it with other guests. The posting gave us the impression the apartment was a single bedroom unit.
When we arrived, there was hair on the bedsheets and pillows.
