I was in New York for a week and accordingly also 7 nights in Amber and Lauren's Air BnB.
This review will be in two parts, first all the positives and then the criticisms, which will also include the experiences of the other Air BnB guests who stayed with me.
In terms of location, the Air BnB is good, you can quickly get to the L and J subway and thus to Manhattan in about 30 minutes. In addition, it is well located in Williamsburg and you have both shops and kiosks of all kinds within walking distance. You get a nice room here, which is bright and good for the price.
However, there is a lack of cleanliness, the drawers were dirty and there was some hair lying around. The drawers of the dressers are also not retractable, which is why they are always outside. The furniture in the room is also placed differently than in the photos, which makes the room look a little smaller.
Communication with the landlady was sometimes a bit difficult.
Now to the points that really bothered me: There is also a cat living in the Air BnB, which is not a problem for me at first because I like animals, but for allergy sufferers or people who do not like pets it would definitely be worth mentioning what in the indication is NOT done. In addition, the litter box in the apartment is not cleaned often, which has caused a pentrant smell from time to time.
As I already mentioned, there were two other guests in the Air BnB with me, who moved into the other room. When you left, there was a large brown stain on the mattress (https://ibb.co/kXLqMY2) over which the cover was, but which still partially reflects the cleanliness of the apartment. Also, after leaving, there was criticism via Air BnB that the two had not kept the apartment clean, which was definitely not the case. The two/we emptied the dishwasher several times with all the things and always made sure to put everything away after using the kitchen or the living room. That's why this criticism was incomprehensible to me because there was no criticism during the entire stay.
In summary, I can say the following: If you want a relaxed stay in NYC, this Air BnB is quite good. It's in a nice location but has one or two disadvantages when it comes to cleanliness or communication. If these aspects can still be improved, it will definitely be a great Air BnB.
