We were very disappointed the pictures in the listing appear to be very outdated. We originally booked a 5 night stay but left after the first night.
First check in was easy and he was responsive however there were so many issues that we didn’t feel he could correct that we did not contact him he went straight to AIRBNB. The major problems were:
He sent a long email of house rules on the day we were to check in. We didn’t get it until we arrived in NY due to flights. The main rule was to not talk to anyone in the building, to not linger with our luggage on the street we needed to get in very quickly. If anyone asked us we could not tell them we were renting we had to lie and say we were visiting friends. Apparently this building does not allow short term rentals which made us very uncomfortable and is the main reason we left.
The comforters on the bed had yellow stains all over them.
The bath tub had a tile missing and there was black stuff growing on the wall.
The bathroom ceiling has chipped peeling paint which looks like a water leak at some point.
In the listing the pretty window by the glass door had a window unit in it surrounded by duct tape and cardboard.
The pretty curtains in the other bedroom now have a large square hole torn in them so the window AC unit behind them can blow thru.
The couch and rolling chair in the pictures are really worn and not in good shape.
We have 5 people and we could fit but he states in the listing he has a air bed but I have no idea where you would put it unless you folded up the kitchen table and put it there.
I would not recommend this listing.
