The facts .....
although Leah gave me an immediate one night refund and allowed me to alter my res and get out early this was unlike any of my Airbnb experiences since 2010 and I’ve had MANY! A long 9 block walk from train. Quiet residential neighborhood but beware of the 6am church bells that sound for 2 minutes on Saturday and Sunday. Woke me up both nights.
The back entrance was not well lit in eve. For some may be intimidating.
I walked into a kitchen with a sink full of dishes which was off putting .
In a nutshell-My room and bathroom had OBVIOUSLY not been cleaned in a good while . She explained someone other than herself did the “ cleaning “ as she had to work but this is no excuse in the Airbnb world . The rug was disgusting /bathroom had hairs etc/ inches of dust on dressers /tv stand /on paneling by bed . Full waste can by the bed of someone’s garbage etc etc.
She came home and cleaned the bathroom well and I opted to just disinfect the bedroom myself as I hadn’t slept in a day and couldn’t wait for her to come.
Loud music played downstairs at night but ended by 11.
I had to request a towel as there was only a damp dirty one hanging in room.
There are no excuses for a room being this dirty for a guest. I am from Brooklyn and has nothing to do with being picky . I was a Super Host for many years and if I didn’t have time in day I would stay up into the wee hours cleaning . Point blank. Seems to have a lot of good reviews so I hope it can go back to the way it was. Good luck
