I was excited to book this rental for my daughter’s graduation in NYC. It was pricey, but options in Brooklyn are limited and this seemed worth the expense.
After we booked, the hosts reached out to tell us we were actually booking a different unit at a different address that they were “getting ready” to rent. This seemed a bit sketch, but the hosts seemed like experienced AirBnB hosts, so I agreed after being assured this unit was “just like” the one I’d thought I was booking.
Fast forward to the unit and… hair on the pillows and in the shower, a stained bed covering that stood in for a comforter, no sleeping pillows on one of the beds (decorative only, the big wooden buttons did not make for a nice sleep), stuffing coming out of pillows on the other bed, a wobbly couch propped on books due to broken front legs, and a cracked coffee maker that leaked when we tried to make coffee (all documented with photos and sent to AirBNB).
Suffice it to say, the rush to get this place ready to rent showed, and the hosts were not responsive or helpful when I contacted them to discuss.
I would not rent from them again - here or anywhere.
