READ BEFORE BOOKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello, I am so livid, and dont know who else can help me get some justice. These people need to be called out in a major way!!!!
I was a resident of 702 44th St, BK, the site of the huge 6 alarm fire in Sunset Park on Wed April 4. My family and I are safe, but we lost everything. I have a 5 month old baby, and we evacuated the building with nothing but the clothes on our backs.
I had my first day back from Maternity Leave on April 4, the day of the fire, and my mother is visiting to help with childcare, we booked this for her. After evacuating, my mother, newborn and I raced barefoot back to the AirBnB, while my husband stayed in the park with our 12 year old dog, Tilly. Tilly had a procedure at the vet Tues night and is currently wearing a cone, and on pain med.
Upon frantically arriving to the AirBnB, we greeted our host, who was watching news coverage of the fire. We explained that it was my building and now my family, including my my baby and injured dog had nowhere to go. I told her my dog was potty trained, very old and quite, and she stated "Of Course. Anything you need. I am so sorry this is happening."
The following day, Thursday, my mom, baby and I were taking the dog on a walk when our host, Haydee, came out of our unit. She immediately yelled, "What is a dog doing here?" I reminded her of the fire and her saying its was ok. She said this conversation never took place and we all needed to leave immediately. I pleaded with her that my family, had no where to go, no transportation, and none of our belongings. She stated "This is not my problems. People have allergies and we cannot have a dog here."
I obviously became very upset, starting to have a panic attack. Our hosts daughter, Annette, then called me and said she was on the phone with AirBnB telling them we were breaking their rules and that we had to leave immediately.
Never in my life have I been treated so cruel. This fire is, by far, the most traumatic thing that has ever happened to me or my young family. My son is only 5 months old! My dog is old and sick! Everything we have is gone, and this woman literally kicked us out on the street.
Not sure how you can use this story, but I feel like it needs to be told. Just righting a review about this does not seem to suffice the trauma it caused me.
Cant imagine anyone doing business with such cruel people.
