Not sure where to begin... I booked last minute cause I needed to go to Brooklyn for work and the host graciously tried to work with me by giving the keys to “her doorman” in Manhattan where I was at the moment. However, when I got there the doorman did not have the keys nor did he have anyone with her name living in that apartment. Then she proceeded to be mad at me and said that’s not her place, it’s her “family’s place”. First warning that something fishy was going on. I then went to Brooklyn with all my things and she instructed me that she left her keys at the corner shop. Very kind of her. I got there and she was waiting at the deli for me, a little fishy... then she walked me to her place, we were behind someone else going in so I had no idea the front door key worked or not. I got to the apartment and everything was fine and I dropped my stuff and went back out. I came home late and THE FRONT DOOR KEY DID NOT WORK. Imagine that in the middle of the night in a sketchy neighborhood with all my things inside that the front door keys would not work. So I messaged her and Airbnb. At this point I needed to ring all the door bells and bother her neighbors to let me in. Fortunately, the apartment key at least worked and My stuff was still there. I quickly grabbed everything and had to go back to Manhattan.
Long story short, DO NOT STAY HERE
