This was by far the worst experience I’ve had on airbnb.
I live in Brooklyn as well and was looking for relatively cheap solution for 10 days while my own apartment was being renovated.
The good thing is Nacho’s place is big, close to the Q train, and has an elevator.
The bad things are:
1. It was full of cockroaches - especially in the bathroom and kitchen, but in the room I was staying at as well. I had to shower at a friend’s and brush my teeth at work because I was too disgusted to go inside it.
2. I didn’t have clean sheets. When I arrived the bed was made but with dirty sheets full of body odor, hair and crumbs. I didn’t use the first night and had to wait more than 24 hours until Nacho got back to me with explanation on where to find a clean set of linens.
3. Nacho was away except for a very short appearance (he was out of town traveling, he said) and did nothing to take care of these issues. Claiming “it’s an old building”. Let me tell you, it’s not that old in New York standards and this far from anything I’ve experienced myself or heard from my friends.
4. After leaving the keys at a close by laundromat (as requested by Nacho via text) his girlfriend wasn’t able to find them and texted me throughout the night again and again. I’m unsure of what she wanted, but she was insistent and rude.
Don’t stay here.
