TERRIBLE.
UNPLEASANT.
CONFUSING. (mood swings?)
I don't usually leave a review like this but man, my stay at Christopher's apartment was the only negative thing during my week in NYC.
This was my first but probably my last time staying at a shared studio/apartment.
Trying to stay objective here, but what bothered me the most was his attitude. Yes, on the first day he was welcoming, still, I can recognize his tone was not fully friendly.
He is arrogant, without saying it, it makes you feel like he's doing you a favor. Hey, this is after a service, where both parties agree to give/receive service. Well by the second night he was bothered if I ask a question. I was never in the apartment. I'd leave early, really early, and come back late. So I really don't know what bothered him.
Anyways, just a word for those checking this place out. Spend a little more and avoid this place.
Other people already said it in the reviews, apparently, I was not careful enough to read them all, but among the things, you can expect on top of the obvious, shady neighborhood, inexact address, an apartment that hasn't been properly clean in a while, to say a few.
Christopher made me feel unwelcomed starting on the second night, was very rude when I asked basic questions, and was always in the house, so there was never a chance to try to rest and not feel unwelcomed.
P.S Christopher, when you reply to this review, just don't try to defend yourself with the basic things that a decent Airbnb host does. That's a given and is the least one can expect. The main problem, in my opinion, is your attitude, plain and simple. Yes, you had times where it appeared like you were a decent host but others when you were unbearable.
Anyway, I am glad this is over and I am back home.
