I have been using Airbnb for years and never wrote a negative review, so this is definitely a first. I very much understand ‘you get what you pay for’ and have been in multiple shared Airbnb's, but this was very under expectations and overall a poor experience. For starters, the check in is at 6pm which is ridiculously late. I know this is written in the rules prior to booking but do want to point out it is a pretty absurd time. Check out is still the standard 11am and we had a hard time to convince them to accommodate our luggage for a few hours before the next check in, which is only at 6pm. The house smelled absolutely awful, the room had zero thought into it, it was simply a bed in a small space – no mirror, bed light or small easy details that could have made the stay a lot better. The bathrooms have no locks which is pretty weird (again, this is a share housed with other rooms being used as Airbnb's). Conrad, which I believe is the main host, was the more attentive and polite one. However, his co-host was very poor in communication – unprofessional, rude and took forever to reply. Location is good and of course the price is ok for it to be NYC, but with a few simple adjustments, this could be a lot better.
