Unfortunately this flat was well below the standard depicted in the images. I have lived in NY for many years so have a good understanding of the level of apartment’s especially in this neighborhood but I do believe it to be unfair to use images that do not truly represent the flat. The sofa was unable to be sat on, it was extremely unsanitary. The flat looked as if it had not been properly cleaned and far more scarce than the images shown on the listing. There was no heat, and although the host did express there were space heaters in the closet, it was the middle of winter so I believe sufficient apartment heating is needed during this time. I am speaking with airbnb regarding this as I was unable to stay in the flat and had to find alternative accommodation. I am only expressing this in the hopes that this situation I found myself in will not happen to someone else. I truly hope airbnb is about to assist as it is not fair to have apartment’s listed that are not as they are appear in the listing. I believe this to be deceitful.
