Marina was an excellent host. She was super responsive and generously accommodated our early checkin in and late check out. The apartment itself is nice and clean and located in a lovely multicultural neighbourhood full of great places to eat. Easy commute into Manhattan. The one thing that unfortunately dampened our stay was the downstairs neighbour. Marina warned us she could be cranky about noise so we were extra careful to tread lightly on the creaky floorboards and keep our voices lowered. However, on our first night, she came upstairs as we were going to sleep and started ringing the buzzer repeatedly even though we’d been so quiet. She was really confrontational and aggressive when I opened the door, and when I told her she was being unreasonable and we couldn’t be any quieter, she proceeded to stand at the front door and spitefully hold down the buzzer for several minutes so we couldn’t go back to bed. She ended up leaving when I got back out of bed and came back to the door and told her I’d call the police. A couple of days later, she abused me for making noise as I was walking past her floor in the middle of the day. We were barely even at the apartment as we were usually out exploring the city, but it made it impossible to relax when we were there, tiptoeing around the Airbnb like mice and whispering the entire time for fear of angering this woman again. I know this was out of Marina’s control, and I don’t blame her for it at all, but regardless, it really did make it difficult to enjoy the apartment when we could barely move around or speak normally.
