TL;DR ok room, abusive housemate, unresponsive host
When I moved into the house, I was optimistic. My room was exactly what I expected, and I was looking forward to meeting my housemates. The house is an interesting mix of long-term residents and short-term Airbnb guests. It has a lot of potential.
Unfortunately, one of the long-term residents is a bonafide psychopath — and she does her best to make everyone angry. Our problems started when she blasted the stove fans in the middle of the night. They are very loud. But when I turned them off, she immediately turned them back on, and lectured me about the dangers of carbon monoxide. When I bought a carbon monoxide detector to double check, she threw it in the sink, and soaked it with water. When I asked her not to break my belongings, she broke into my room, and stole my prescription drugs. I had to call the police, and file a report at 5am.
As the situation was escalating, I regularly messaged the Airbnb host, but rarely received a reply. When I moved out early, and asked if maybe I could get a partial refund — no reply.
Anyway, I’d stay somewhere else. There are plenty of affordable places in Queens where you won’t have to deal with such drama.
