I don’t have any actual feedback on this property. This host boasts the use of public transportation as a means of getting around the city from his property. I tried cancelling my reservation the same day I booked it due to health concerns due to NYC’s declared state of emergency of Monkeypox. I had no plans to actually stay at this location and made it clearly known to the owner. He refused to refund us our money and conveniently refers to Airbnb’s policy as it guarantees him our booking of over $550 whether we showed up or not. He claimed that he lost out on business, when we made it known we weren’t planning on staying within a few hours. He even continued his charade of hospitality by sending me housekeeping messages on the days of the supposed check in and check out. I personally recommend to the host, Asif, to reconsider if he is fit for the hospitality business -because I was not shown any. I have stayed in multiple airbnbs before and this is probably the worst experience.
In his final message, he asks that we come again to visit the place. If he had originally extended to us the courtesy of returning our money when he knew that he was not going to be providing us any service, we would have possibly visited his place in the future. Now, I think any reasonably person in my shoes would go out of their way to never give this person any business and steer others away as well.
TL;DR - He kept our money when he knew we had no plans to stay there.
