This was my worst experience today with a host on Airbnb. To be fair, I’ve dealt with extremely accommodating, warm and kind hosts thus far, so this was jarring. I will say, the bed was comfortable. As far as the place, it’s no frills and in a great area close to many restaurants/subway/bars and the lovely prospect park—the rest was pretty awful. A basement apartment, we arrived and Fourth allowed us to leave our bags in the hallway until checkin... here began the beginning of a lot of messages would recieve for the next 48hours. He confirmed where to leave them, and that’s what we did. He then messaged me asking me if we left our bags with a picture of them, as if he was surprised/confused? Then we proceeded to enjoy our privacy (we usually stay with family and friends in NY but splurged on this trip for a lil more space) and went out for the night. When we woke up in the morning I had 2 messages from Fourth 1. Asking us to stop “walking heavily” and 2. Asking if “something is happening?” Perplexed, I responded apologizing if we were loud returning home that night. He responded telling me we were “stomping around” and “moving furniture”—neither of which were the case. We simply came home (late, around 4am—bars in NY almost never do last call and we had one night to go dancing this trip) and got ready for bed and went to sleep. I spent a lot of the day getting these messages and responding... not how I wanted to spend time with my loved ones, it was so distracting. We then asked if we could leave our bags (presumably in a locked space although I did not explicitly mention this detail) since we didn’t need to leave for our flight until 4pm the next day. He obliged and then I find out in the morning, after unable to make other arrangements that our bags should be stored behind an unlocked door that opens to the street. I was concerned but fourth insisted it was a safe neighborhood (which I know it is, but in general I don’t love leaving my belongings including computer out for anyone to grab). We accidentally left them behind a locked door (which in retrospect I feel better about). To top it all off, after leaving our keys in the locked box as we were asked, Fourth messaged me one final time asking “where are my keys?” I just couldn’t believe it—I would never stay here again, I’d never recommend this spot to any friend visiting NY area. Not only was the place not stellar in any respect, it didn’t come with any warm welcome and in the end felt overpriced for all the trouble.
