Omg where do I start?! I stayed here for 2 weeks and this place was a terrible experience. This is the most rude, disrespectful and borderline dangerous host I have ever come across in my many years of being an Airbnb guest. The host responds quickly when you're a potential guest but once you book, he takes 4-5 days to answer. When I arrived, there were no instructions. On the first day of my stay my bedroom door got locked and he refused to give me the key to it stating that if I lost the key it would be expensive to replace! My roommate and I spent hours trying to unlock the door until we finally did, and the host later told me that if I couldn't unlock it, I would have had to pay for the locksmith!
A few days later, he insisted he wanted to bring potential guests to see my room and when I refused he got angry and asked me to leave. I had to contat airbnb and tell them what was going on and that I didnt have any other place to go to. Even after I refused to have guests visit my room while I was renting it, he sent people over to knock on my door late at night asking me to see the room! And since I didnt have the key to my room, I couldn't lock it when I was away so I didnt feel safe at all.
If you re looking to stay in NYC and want to feel safe and welcome, steer clear of this place, there are so many better options I wish I picked instead of having to go through this horrible experience.
