I never leave bad reviews but i feel compelled to. Something isn’t right with this place.
Tacked up sheets on the ceiling with feet sticking out and snoring people all jammed in the same room. French guy walking around literally in a towel. Wet towels on the floor in the bathroom, warm toilet seat (gross) and a mean lady in a shower cap that lives there in a room and manages / cleans the place (I saw in her room, yes she lives there) and she yelled at me for having shoes on loading my suitcases in.
Such a misleading post, it is not walking distance to ANYTHING. It’s a rough area (I am a NY’er) A car had its window bashed out the night that I was there, with glass on the ground the next day.
I took photos and I’m happy to send them to anybody. I actually wrote a short essay on the whole situation for FB I’d happily send that along too.
Lakshmee was straight up rude, the airlines lost my luggage at the airport, and I was a bit weary from standing in lines and traveling coming from Canada where I was speaking to kids at high schools on a tour. I rang the doorbell and she answered the intercom with an attitude asking why have “I not read the instructions”…
Huh?
I told her what happened that my luggage got lost and that I was a bit worn out from it and she was completely awful to me. If there was not a no refund policy, I would’ve walked right then and there.
I Airbnb, a lot, all over the world.
NOBODY asks for check out at 10am, and charges you $20 for a “late” check out.
Sorry, travellers and people laying over like I was. You can do way better. It says it’s $65 but it cost me $120 for the grossest, basically youth hostel in deep Queens.
Lady this is not Oahu, this is Queens NY and there is garbage on the streets, barbed wire, pit bulls, homeless people begging at the convenience store and broken glass from a car break in on the corner.
It’s not as described, empty liquor bottles on the sidewalk, loud bass in cars driving by etc.
If that’s what you’re up for, go for it, but there are hotels everywhere for JFK there. The reviews somehow overlooked this.
She also offers to take you six minutes to the airport for $20. (Uber is $12) This is her livelihood and you can completely tell.
Once again:
Wet towels on the floor, sheets tacked to ceiling. Arrogant host, bad neighborhood.
For the record I never leave bad reviews, but this is bordering on not even legal as a health and safety violation.
