I was a paying guest in the hosts apartment. I do not feel that my concerns and approach in communicating them to him were unreasonable. From his review, the host appears upset that I had any complaints at all. These are the issues that I had with the apartment:

1. The pillows did not smell clean
2. The sheets on the beds had several holes in them
3. The bathroom towels were old and worn
4. The air conditioner ran very loud in the apartment as well as the plumbing from the upstairs unit which made it hard to sleep

When I met the host at the apartment upon my arrival he said that he would bring a new set of sheets and leave them at the door but he did not bring the sheets. During my stay in NYC I wrote one email to the host with my concerns and also phoned the host two times, but never spoke to him personally.

Overall, I was disappointed with my stay. Basic, clean bedding and towels that are in good condition are essential to me. It also would have been appreciated if the host has informed me that there is audible noise from the air conditioner and plumbing at night.

As for the concern that I am operating a "pop-up" salon in his apartment - this is completely untrue. I was in NYC on vacation and do not operate pop-up salons.
