Unfortunately, this was my first bad experience through Airbnb.
* The pictures show the place larger than it really is.
The checking in process was very difficult to me. I'm not from around the US so I didn't have any communication ways. I was an hour and a half late because of my airline and problems with my luggage, and by the time I got to an area with Wi-Fi, Cynthia send me a message that she left me the keys and a store next to her house. Eventually, after many back-and-forth, I found out the key was in a different store.
Then she gave me the wrong Wi-Fi password, so I had to come back to the store and call her son from there to get the right code (Since I didn't have a SIM card or anything that night).
After spending the first night there, her dog pooped on my floor next to my bed. I've cleaned it in the morning when I woke up. Also, I was having a really hard time in the apartment since my room didn't really have access to the AC.
Then the worst thing happened - I've accidentally cracked the upper side of the mirror table in the room. I immediately sent her a message, and we were starting to discuss about the prices. I was willing to pay the cost of the repair, but the prices she have mentioned at that time were very high, which was more than I paid for the overall staying, and definitely wasn't the price it should be. She was asking me to replace the whole table - which shouldn't be the case.
I can sum up the experience in this apartment as being very uncomfortable to me, it really affected my experience and since I came to New York for only 5 days I felt like I need to leave this place in order to continue feeling comfortable with the continuation of my trip.
Overall I stayed there 2 nights out of the 5 nights I've fully paid.
Of course I'm going to pay the price for the damage - But it feels like her request is much more than it should be.
