We are extremely disappointed with Myrtle's treatment. THIS HOST IS PROBLEMATIC!!! Our family is not confrontational at all. We were taking our family on a historic tour of New York for the first time to see all the buildings and monuments. We were traveling with two small kids 5 yrs old and 7 years old and grandparents 69 and 65 years old. Host didn't have enough blankets or pillow covers to cover her nasty dirty pillows. When we asked her for more pillow covers I specifically told her that my father who is 69 years old needed to sleep propped up and needed extra pillows because of his gastritis condition and she immediately went on to accuse of us having additional people staying with us. And that's why she had left the exact number of pillow cases - blankets and towels for the entire stay. I told her my dad was suffering with gastritis and needed extra pillows and she accused me of lying.
Additionally, the first morning there when we woke up to take quick showers before exploring the city, we noticed that after the first person showered the water would not drain properly. This delayed us because we couldn't shower to leave. We ended up wasting our entire first day of exploring the city. I called the host immediately to let her know that the shower had really bad plumbing issues (which she denied) and that there was not a shower mat or rug and that because the drainage situation was so bad, someone could slip and fall.

When we called her about her horrible plumbing situation in the bathtub to let her know immediately that it was clogged she assumed no responsibility for it and said that, that her pipes had not had that problem before, (meanwhile underneath the bathroom sink she had a pipe drain cleaner)..... She also then went on to say that we didn't know how to use the water stopper properly...
When we told her it wasn't the water stopper, Myrtle lied to us and said she would send someone professional who knew about fixing the pipe right over. When the person showed up it happened to be herself! She intruded our private space and invaded our privacy & personal time of getting ready. While she was in the house my mom and dad where trying to be friendly with her since she lingered inside the kitchen saying she was boiling water for over an hour! My parents told her about the event we were there to see. She trespassed without our permission and lingered inside the house and saw that it was just our family, exactly the number of people we told her would be there including my two small children. She saw that we were a family grandparents and small children and the next day she decided to kick us out!!!! She purposefully kicked us out saying that we violated her policy and stating that we were throwing a "party" and that we had more people staying in her home than what we told her. These accusations were not true!!! These were false accusations !
She wrongfully accused us of having more people there because she knew that her trespassing and invading our private space was wrong and against the law! She came into the house saying that she was going to fix the plumbing issue claiming to be a professional but when we confronted her and asked her who she was she did say she was the home owner. She claimed to have sent a professional plumber afterwards, and stated to airbnb that she sent a professional plumber. But we were in the home and the plumber never came. Meanwhile she followed my family the other half of the guest, stalking them at the event they were headed to. She literally followed them to stalk them!! At that point my family became very concerned for their safety!!!v
She knew we were contacting airbnb about all of this and took action first by kicking us out! She should be ashamed of herself! We had no where to go and airbnb took her side on all of this. We have traveled to many places using airbnb and never have had any issues like this!
Myrtle's house I would not recommend to anyone! It is located in a very scary corner where lots of bums and street people do all kinds of shady things at night.

She stalked us, invaded our private space and trespassed lying and stating that she was sending a professional plumber to fix the situation, meanwhile it was her. She has cameras in the front and in the back and stalks the guests through them!!! Beware of ever using her place. She is not an adequate host and has personal issues. Even her neighbor downstairs when we were kicked out told us she is so problematic and has done this before!!!
