This airbnb is in Jackson Heights, Queens, so your expectations should be adjusted accordingly. It’s not luxurious, but it’s functional and conveniently located.
The space, however, did not feel comfortable or secure. The apartment was dirty. Old food items in the refrigerator. A thick layer of dust and grime on all the baseboards. Tape holding the bathroom window together. Dust on all the fixtures in the bathroom and the tables in the common area: one was so sticky I couldn’t place anything on it. And the other was cheaply made and the surface was peeling. In the bathroom, the towels had someone else’s hair in them. The shower curtain was missing most of the hooks. It was just…bad.
There was a lock on the OUTSIDE of one the bedroom doors which was super weird and unsettling. I never closed the door for fear that someone could lock me in from the outside. Also the door to get into the apartment is a french door that can easily be broken into.
Overall, I’d say this place is one of the worst Airbnbs I’ve ever stayed in, and I’ve stayed in A LOT…all over the world. I booked this place because NYC hotels are ridiculously priced, but in retrospect, I wish I had just paid the premium and stayed in a hotel.
