This apartment is in a poorly maintained building and is half a block away from an above-ground subway line. The smoke alarms in the building are missing batteries and make chirping noises all the time. The hot water is sporadic - during my stay I had a handful of showers where the hot water lasted about 4 minutes and the rest of the time I was lucky to get a full minute. Toward the end of my stay, the building lost hot water completely and I asked AirBnB for compensation and to cancel the rest of the reservation. I paid for a service, which failed, and Leah decided to get pissed off at me for asking for compensation - for the price, I expect at least hot water and it is unfair that she sent me angry messages. She asked me to not mention to neighbors I was in her apartment via AirBnB, so on the assumption that she is illegally subletting, it's incredible she had the absolute nerve to get salty with me and refuse to compensate the days I was without hot water. I'm not entirely sure why she has progressive signs all over her apartment when she is behaving like a capitalist. AirBnB said that they couldn't force the compensation because I reported it 2.5 days after the water went out, instead of 1 day. On the positive side, the wifi worked great, the couch was comfortable and the neighborhood felt pretty safe.
