I definitely can't recommend this apartment. We arrived in Williamsburg, the apartment was easy to find and all the information the host gave us was correct. That was very good.
When we reached the apartment, we where a little bit shocked about the stairways. They are extremely dirty and smelled like oil. But it was okay for us. There was no elevator, so it would have been nice if the host not only waited for us to hurry and come upstairs. It would have been nice if he offered his help with our suitcases. The welcome was short, quick and rough. No nice words, he only told us, how to behave, showed us our room, bathroom and the kitchen. The room has no window, what wasnt as we wished for. And it has no AC, what was stressful because it was too hot to sleep.
When we arrived, the bathroom wasnt clean. The host told us, that he will clean it the next day - but that didnt happend (all week long).
But the worst thing was, that our room (and the rest of the apartment) smelled like oil. Not extremely as it was on the stairways. But too extreme to stay a long time in the room (without a window!) When we told the host about the smelling, he made a little fun of us. But afterwards at least he tried to get rid of the smell (it didnt work so well, but at least he tried).
This was not my first experience with airbnb. Ususally I am very happy with it. But this was my first booking on airbnb on my own - and perhaps my last one.
