Alexandra's place is convenient if you need to stay in Inwood, in the very upper reaches of Manhattan, and Alexandra does an excellent job of communicating. She has clearly put effort into the design touches for her place, and she also kindly agreed to let us check in an hour early. However, it was very disappointing to us that the Cuisinart coffee maker and electric kettle pictured in the listing photos when we booked the space weren't actually there when we arrived and there was no clear way to make coffee. All that we could find was a tiny stove-top espresso maker but no espresso for it. There was what appeared to be instant coffee in a tin but no pot in which to heat up water for coffee or for tea (except an enormous pasta pot) and no milk or cream of any kind for coffee. What made this worse what that we had to walk several blocks to find a cafe that made coffee drinks. Having coffee making options available is one of the most basic things that an Airbnb host should provide, and not having this made waking up in the morning and having to trek a long distance for coffee a drag. Also misleading was that there was no complimentary bottle of wine as the listing had stated that there would be, no juicer as pictured, no wash cloths, and no bath mat. In addition, while the listing promotes the place as being light-filled and very quiet, it is in fact very dimly lit and somewhat noisy. The refrigerator motor makes a lot of noise all of the time, which is a problem since it's only a few feet from the bed. There is also noise from the people above, from the water pipes a couple of feet away in the bathroom, from the hallway, and from the street. Based on the listing, we were expecting something very different from what we actually found and were disappointed.
