My friend and I chose this location because we needed separate bedrooms. The day we arrived it was 92 degrees in Brooklyn - and probably 85 degrees in the apartment. Nowhere in the description did Katie mention that the apartment was not air conditioned and that only 2 windows could be opened. There was one small window air conditioner in one bedroom which barely cooled that room but had no effect whatsoever for the rest of the apartment. My friend and I were forced us to share
the bed which was very uncomfortable for both of us. The other rooms were unbearably hot so we essentially slept, ate, and planned our days in one room.
There were other problems like no toilet paper when we arrived, only one washcloth for 2 people, no coffee, no ice cube trays to even make ice for a cold drink, a torn pillow case on one bed, and an electrical outlet that did not function properly and is unsafe. We booked 4 nights; on the second night we came home at midnight to find out that there was no water in the shower. We booked a hotel and left the next morning.
We were extremely disappointed in this accommodation: basic amenities like toilet paper, ice cube trays etc need to be there and Katie needs to be upfront on her site that this 4th floor walk-up is NOT air conditioned! People should also know that there is only one entrance/exit to the apartment. On a 4th floor that could be a serious situation should you have to evacuate the building quickly.
