I stayed at Rosa’s apartment for around a month and a half. I have never written a bad Airbnb review so this will be the first.
The first issue is the accuracy of the location. When I first booked the reservation it was provided that the location was in the general vicinity of a few blocks northwest than where it actually was. I know that Airbnb does not provide an actual location before you book but once I did book the location was outside of the parameters originally given with the circle radius. It wasn’t too far off but enough to matter - the area where the apartment is located is a bit desolate. Grocery shopping and restaurant districts are not within a 10min walking distance (outside of places like McDonald’s.) I should have reached out to Airbnb once I discovered that the location wasn’t as described but decided against it since it was so hard to get an Airbnb in New York in the first place I could not get something on that short of notice. I don’t know whether the location was unintentionally incorrect or intentionally but I’d advise Rosa to make sure the bubble around where the location is, is correct.
The second issue was cleanliness. The apartment was not clean. Just plain and simple there was dust dirt and hair around the apartment and in the bathroom. It wasn’t a mess with things strewn about but just general dirtiness.
The third issue is that the apartment does not look as nearly as homey in person as it does in the pictures insofar that Rosa has taken many books and decorations out of the apartment. Not a big deal but it’s not exactly as pictured.
I wouldn’t choose to stay again.
