Location was ideal to St John’s and the apartment was clean. There were a few inconveniences initially that the host addressed and he was communicative. I was not aware this was a basement unit apartment (this was not in the listing description) as such, the noise of the upstairs tenants was unbearable throughout the stay.
The was a safety issue as fire alarm and CO monitor was out dated and not functioning. I replaced the batteries and the monitor gave a CO warning and NYFD were called, etc… the host assured me it would be replaced the next morning but was not replaced until the following evening. The host apologized for this “inconvenience” and offered some of compensation but to no avail. Unfortunately, my stay was anything but pleasant.
