I would like to share my experience so that you have a clear understanding of what you’re getting yourself into when booking this place for your vacation or family gathering. If you are OK with someone, this being the host, constantly looking at their cameras to monitor what the guests are doing then you should be OK booking this place. The host monitors her cameras and she is very particular about who comes in to her property. my son lives two blocks away from there in a very small apartment , as all apartments are in New York City. we have not seen our son for two years because of Covid we finally get to see him we fly three hours to go see him we think it’s OK for him to come over for pizza after he perform on Broadway and the host gives us a call and basically says he needs to get out that no one other than the people that are on the reservation are allowed in her house. She repeated that she has rules and that they need to be follow no one other than the people on the reservation are allowed in the house so if you’re planning to visit family and have them come over to visit with you don’t reserve this place because you will not be allowed to have people come over. If you are not OK with sketchy areas dark neighborhoods trash and dirtiness outside then don’t book this place because it’s very sketchy it’s dark scary at night and there’s trash everywhere including rats. The inside of the place is old there’s stairs to the second floor that are very noisy they almost feel as they’re going to fall apart as you go up the stairs very scary for little kids which we had little kids with us. The TV in the room do not work just there for display there’s no place for you to put your clothes we had to put ours on the floor because closets are preoccupied with clutter. The bathroom door does not lock I had to tell everyone to knock before going in because the bathroom did not lock. If you go in the winter time or when it’s cold we prepare to be told that the temperature is already set at what it needs to be per New York City guidance regardless if you and the rest of the guests are cold. Be prepare to be asked to leave the place simply because you had someone come over we were in a city that we do not know a neighborhood that is not the safest not the cleanest, we were asked to leave because my son came over for pizza. We had to look for a hotel we still had another night left we were not credit any money back instead the host wanted to charge us $500 more for breaking the rules and allowing my son to come in for a slice of pizza. It is inhuman to ask a family with children to get out of home simply because they had an extra person come over for pizza a person that you love that you have not seen for two years and you flew three hours to go see. it does not make sense it’s unkind and unhuman especially when you have children that are scared wondering what’s going on why do we have to pack and go, it was raining and cold we had to walk and try to figure out what we were going to do. We had to see if there was a hotel that had rooms available, on call for. If you wish to experience all of this, go book this Place. The other thing we noticed is the towels that were given to us to use in the bathroom were all different colors they look old nothing special about those towels I feel that if you’re going to book your place for people to enjoy you should at least have decent same color towels. Also there was no trash cans other than in the kitchen it would be nice to have a trashcan in the bathroom.Last but not least if you wish to rent your place out for people to come and enjoy the city or family you should probably allow the families to enjoy your place and not be watching them over a camera and Not dictating who can and cannot come visit. We were simply having pizza after my son’s performance. We were relax and tired simply together just talking at the table we were not listening to music we were not having a party we were simply just gather as family talking and enjoying celebrating we were reunited with some good New York pizza. I share this so that you have a true picture of our experience never again. I have rented many before and have never experienced what I experience this time in New York. To have The heart to kick a family out is unbelievable no compromise no working things out. The host called that evening to say you have an extra person that is not on your reservation why are they there they need to leave the place and you explain to the host that is your son who came over to celebrate his performance and enjoy pizza with you and still they do not have the heart to say don’t worry about it it’s OK enjoy your son instead they tell you he needs to leave and then the next morning you get a phone call from Airbnb asking you to leave the place , thank you for reading my review.
