Fair warning to future travelers: the other room in this apartment is also Air-Bnb’d. As a young woman traveling alone I chose very specific rooms in homes hosted by women so that I felt safe. I was very upset to find out a few hours before check-in that an unknown man would be staying in the apartment with me. It seems that I would not have been told that this was the case unless I specifically asked.
The other air bnb guest left items all over the apartment, and rendered the toilet disgusting and unusable during my last night. As I did not feel that it was my job to clean up after another guest - even though Natasha asked me to try to fix the problem myself several times, which I did to no avail and even sent her video and photo evidence of me doing so - I had to leave the apartment and use a public bathroom in a bodega nearby. Really unbelievable experience.
Natasha was communicative throughout the ordeal, however my stay overall was very uncomfortable. I did not feel that the listing information was accurate. It’s not obvious that this was not the host’s home, or at least that the other room is also being rented out hostel-style.
However, this room is a nice, clean room and is located in a convenient location walkable to the subway and most of Williamsburg and Bushwick. Natasha responded quickly to messages.
