I needed a place to stay while moving between apartments and chose this spot in Clinton Hill (about a 5 min walk to Fort Green Park). Keep in mind it is about a 17 min walk from the Dekalb subway!! It’s a little further out if you are wanting a place to explore but there are cute cafes and restaurants that are only about a 10 min walk.
The space is accurately described and the bathroom and bedroom were pretty clean, but there was an issue with the guests from the top floor smoking (you could smell cigarette smoke on the first floor as well since the space is divided with a curtain). Since I’m sensitive to smoke, I informed the host about this. The host offered to fix the situation and air out the apartment but unfortunately the problem persisted.
I reached out to the host again and was surprised to receive some passive aggressive comments regarding the issue. I ended up discussing the issue with Airbnb support, checked out early and had to move to a hotel until I found another place to stay. This was unfortunate since I was trying to find a no hassle spot between my move and was told beforehand that there would definitely not be smoking inside the space (was told the smoke was outside but that’s not accurate given the strong smell).
As someone who also hosts for Airbnb, I was disappointed in how the situation was handled. The hosts seem busy with their business and times are tough given the pandemic, so I understand, but it’s tough for everyone and caused inconveniences.
