It doesn’t say in the listing there’s no elevator and you have to walk up five flights of stairs with your luggage to get to the apartment. This makes for an unpleasant experience.

It doesn’t say that a dog is sprawled everywhere on your bed when you walk in. I don't mind dogs and knew one would be present but the last thing you want when you walk in exhausted at night is someone else's large dog lying on your bed blocking you. We had to wait half an hour for him to finally move. We would have just picked up and left at that moment if we weren't so tired. Please be courteous and keep the dog in your bedroom with you next time you have a guest.

No curtains on large bedroom window so street light floods into bedroom.

He complains about being spread too thin because he’s constantly going upstate to get free food from the grocery chain he likes to get handouts from which covers his grocery costs. Meanwhile he’s making thousands from his rental and still complains to us about the cost of washing our bedsheets. If you’re going to run a business and earn thousands per month renting room don’t complain about the cost of detergent, especially after you charged extra $10 per person. Don’t complain about bedsheets to a paying customer. That's like a restaurant complaining about having to clean your tablecloth.

We don’t need to hear that as paying guests. That is poor hospitality.

We agreed to a price and I took screenshot. I paid that price. He claimed he misunderstood the currency. I had to pay more in cash to him. He then gave me a hard time about cleaning sheets and saying we got deal, even though we paid exactly what he asked including additional $55 over two nights which more than covers sheet cleaning.

He was always getting into our business and asking personal questions. Made us feel uncomfortable.

It felt like a college slum. Located in a co-op. In a sketchy part of town. Yet he repeatedly stated he was giving us a deal. He repeated this so often I went online. Quickly found listing at Hilton for the same price and night and took screenshot.

Worst part is he didn't want to pay for a cleaner upon checkout so insisted we get out of room before agreed upon 11am checkout time posted on his listing. Then he complained his car was double parked and he made us clean the apartment because he couldn't stay to do it. He had 'very important guests' from competing rental website coming.

We really felt like slaves to this man. We left the place impeccably clean. Yet when I phoned to tell him this the final straw was when he said we were 'taking advantage' and got a great deal. This does not meet the test of reason and is false. He took advantage of our family. This was a miserable experience.
