This host is exceedingly unprofessional and rude, and fosters an unsafe environment for their guests.

I was harassed by this host for weeks and eventually kicked me out of my room to the streets of NY at 10pm without any prior notice.

There were minor issues like going through my trash and answering questions I had, with comments like “this is how things are done in the US”. The major issue was how she declared there would be a room inspection during the middle of my stay, and that she did not want any luggage visible during this time. This was disruptive, and I did not want to store my luggage in a basement as she was proposing. Such an inspection was also not in the house rules, so I respectfully declined. Her reaction to me declining the inspection was completely out of line, and she approached me with anger and screamed that I was “insubordinate” and that I had “screwed her over”. She threw my wet laundry clothes at my door and locked the bathroom so I could not use it and made me leave at 10pm without prior notice. I have objective video evidences to prove this. Do not stay with this host as no one should ever experience such mistreatment and harassment. She will likely respond to this comment trying to tarnish my character as she has with prior guests that have left negative reviews, but please take this as a red flag and warning to not stay here.
