Fernando was a great host, he saved me from a locked out… I put my keys inside and I shut the door and we got locked out, we called Airbnb, the security and everything. An hour later Fernando came to rescue, he called the security and gave him permission to give me a spare key. I’m thankful he was here to help, even if it was an hour after. I’m thankful. Also he gave me directions how to get on the train and everything.. very nice guy.
While Fernando is a great host. However, my main concern is the building itself, which is nothing if Fernando’s fault. The building is just very old. The elevator has strong mold smell, and we heard loud noise every other day we stayed. The first night around 4am there’s a man screaming profanities right outside my door. Luckily it didn’t wake up my kids. I mentioned it to the host, and I understand there’s nothing he can do about that since it’s a building that shares many units so obviously he can’t stop anyone from coming in. And there’s other morning where they were doing remodeling so it was very loud.
We knew the place would be typical NYC small, but one thing about the apartment is There were also obvious mold in the bathroom wall. Other than that, my kids like the bunk bed, everything you need is there like microwave, mini fridge, utensils , pots and pans. We cooked the first day bc H Mart is a min walk so we saved some money by cooking. Prime location.
