I stayed at Gina’s place from M-F for work, along with my pups.
I rate this Airbnb 2.5 stars out of 5. Here’s my honest review (I have stayed in many)!
I stayed at Gina’s place from M-F for work, along with my pups. Here’s my honest review!
The good:
Super responsive, communicative hosts
Easy check in
Clean
Pet friendly
Good location; subway only a few blocks away easy access to Manhattan
I felt very safe in the neighborhood
Lots of convenience stores, coffee shops, and restaurants
Parking wasn’t too challenging
Good sized apartment
Nice showerhead with good water pressure
The not so good:
Lighting in this place is horrible! Fluorescent overhead lights, and the lamp in the living room wasn’t working (was missing bulbs)
Toilet constantly makes noise; had to keep the bathroom door closed to shut it out
Constant ringing noise in kitchen (could even hear it in the bedroom)
Only one towel for the bathroom
Couch is uncomfortable
Pillows aren’t comfortable
Building is noisy; you can hear everything (but that’s to be expected in an apartment building)
No recycling in apartment
I always appreciate being able to bring my dogs, and am grateful for responsive hosts. I also greatly appreciated them buying a small blender, a day after I asked if there was one in the unit (prior to my arrival). That was a very considerate gesture! I would’ve been much more disappointed if I paid for this place myself. I was able to expense it for my job. At $236 per night, I feel it is way over priced.
I asked the host for a door code to have an Amazon delivery, because I forgot special dog food for my pups that you can’t find in most stores, and he told me that I couldn’t have anything delivered. How are you going to tell me that I can’t have a package that I need delivered when I’m paying to stay somewhere? He did end up agreeing to it, because I showed him the receipt of what I was purchasing.
