Overall, my stay was alright. When my roommate and I arrived, Monty was welcoming and helpful. The apartment is located in an area that is a little far from Manhattan but there are two subway stations close to the apartment that can easily get you to Downtown Brooklyn, Manhattan, etc. I had a vehicle and was always able to find street parking. The only drawback to the neighborhood was that people would play very loud music on the weekends until 1-2 am.
When we first arrived, the apartment was clean; however, the dishes and silverware in the kitchen cabinets were kind of sticky and not clean. Also, there was a broken cabinet in the kitchen and a few small tiles on the kitchen floor that would just come off. We made Monty aware of these issues early in our stay and he did not express any concerns. We also frequently encountered and spoke with Monty, and he was always nice and helpful.
However, almost two weeks after check-out, I was very surprised to receive an Airbnb request from him to pay for damages that were not related to our stay, as well as an extra cleaning fee when we actually took the time to clean the apartment and take out trash bags (which he took from us and thanked us for). I tried calling him a few times to see if there was a miscommunication, or if he had accidentally confused us with the gests that were coming immediately after us, but he never responded to me. So much for the great communication during our stay.
