The house was as described. It has spacious bedrooms, nice bathrooms, is in a wonderful, quiet location with great access to the subway and restaurants. You can walk to Central Park in less than 20 minutes!
Our experience with the host, however, was not what we expected and we have stayed in multiple airbnbs around the world without ever having any issues.
1. 30 days before the trip I requested through Airbnb to reduce the stay by 1 day due to a business engagement. The request was within the terms and was accepted. A few minutes after accepting the change Laura reached out to me asking me to pay her outside of Airbnb a part of the daily amount due to the reduction in the stay duration! For a change that was within the terms and 30 days in advance!
2. In the house we found 4 bath towels for 5 guests. When I contacted Laura she told me that the cleaner left 5 towels and that was it. Two of us had to share 1 bath towel while paying $700/day. How much does it cost to leave a couple more
