Good value for a cheap stay in NY, however, there are some things worth mentioning:
- connection to Manhattan is really good, you have three different subway stations within walking distance
- however, neighbourhood seems kind of sketchy and we did not feel 100% secure, I recommend not hanging around alone at night (esp. if you’re female)
- the washer and dryer are in the basement and cost 7$ per load
We had some (major) issues with the cleaning guy. After a small incident we reached out to the host for help who, apparently, then complained to the housekeeper. He came to us and was shitting on us for about 45min and it would have went on if we hadn’t been leaving. Next to blaming us ‘not to follow the rules’ he even accused us of being racist without any reason while being sexist himself as he would ignore me only talk to my boyfriend. He threatened us that he could easily access our room and steal our stuff because he has the keys and told as that he knows what it’s like to ‘not follow the rules’ as he has been to prison for 6 years. When we checked out he kind of apologised but through the stay, he definitely did not make us feel secure. It was overall one of the worst things I had to experience at airbnbs.
Adeyemi was a great host, very helpful, quick replying and friendly. If it wasn’t for the housekeeper I would come again!
