DO NOT BOOK!!
I requested to book this place for 1wk for a work related trip to help out with the covid crisis in NYC. I received 1 message from the host that approved my request to stay and accepted my payment. He requested that I provide him with my travel arrangements so I could get access to the location when I arrived.
I provided him with all travel plans and updated him accordingly. Not one single response; for several days. I was worried something was up but I had no choice as this was for my job. The day of my flight I tried multiple times to contact him before during and after I landed. No reply. The phone number on the profile went straight to voicemail. The address to the location that was once available was no longer there.
I was stranded at the airport with nowhere to go or stay during a pandemic. And out nearly $700. I had to pay for a hotel that night; which several were booked up due to the increased amount of travel healthcare professionals in the area.
In order to receive a refund I had to contact air bnb and file a complaint and was on the verge of filing a police report for scam.
Long story short after several hoops and lots of my valuable time lost I was told I would get a refund. This was around 9pm I believe. It has been 2 days and the refund has yet to be processed back into my account.
Save yourself the trouble; book elsewhere.
