Beware of this listing. I booked it for my brothers when they visited for my wedding and it was a complete bust :/
For starters, the check-in details on the listing were incomplete and I had to call and message Edward the host several times for lock-box combination.
But the real problem is that my brothers arrived at a dirty apartment. There was poop stuck to the toilet and the bathroom smelled like urine. Floors were sticky and there seemed to be a good amount of overall surface grime. Towels were missing as were pillow cases and toilet paper. The bed sheets and blankets didn't feel, smell, or appear clean. One of the top blankets was crusty almost like it had been used as a clean-up rag.
My brother contacted Edward to let him know that the bathroom was dirty and to ask about additional towels. Edward ignored the first point and told my brother where to find towels. After navigating between closets meant for cleaners and/or guests, he found the towel Edward wanted him to use, it was new with tags still on. That meant the chemical treatment from the manufacturer was still on, and it was ill-suited to absorb anything.
The pictures on the listing are inaccurate. Taking pictures of the shower handles for example - they don't show the condition of the bathroom or the brown grime inside the shower/tub. The kitchen, which looks awesome in the photos, was in disarray. The silver was just thrown randomly in a dirty drawer with no organization. There were even noodles stuck to the ceiling in the kitchen and they found bugs in the bed (!). Overall, it was super unclean and even unsanitary.
I was getting married on a busy holiday weekend and alternatives accomodations were scant. My brothers opted to run to a bodega, buy their own supplies and clean the place themselves. I sent towels and sheets from my own home to try and make my family more comfortable on their 6 night stay.
I contacted both Airbnb and Edward to reach a resolution on this. I initially asked for 55% knocked off, but revised that down to the cleaning fees and a free night's stay because something is better than nothing. Went back and forth with Edward for a couple of weeks before he stopped replying to my messages. That means my only recourse is this review. So my advice is to steer clear of this listing. It looks like decent value for money, but it's definitely not worth the hassle.
As a Brooklyn resident and Air BnB host myself, I'm super disappointed that a listing like this is up and that people may once again be greeted with problems like these while they're on vacation. If anyone has further questions, I'd be happy to provide pictures and additional information.
