I’ve stayed in many Airbnbs over the years but was never moved to write a review like this. The only positive aspect of this airbnb is that it is clean.
Three family members and I visited NYC for a family holiday gathering and stayed over the weekend. The caretaker (we suppose) stays on the first level of the limestone row home (creepy) which the profile never shared. He came into our level of the home to help with the hot water - then he told me that “there has been alot of movement” upstairs. I was confused. The house says it sleeps 9 - are we suppose to sit still the entire time in the house? This house also doesn’t have ONE private bedroom.
Then he shared that we could not have any guests. I have a large family that lives in New York. One of the family members walked me home and according to his rules were not allowed to come in.
Lastly, I understand this is not a hotel but how do you sleep 9 but only have enough wash clothes and towels for 3 people.
This was by far the worst experience I have ever had with Airbnb. I would not use this house again.
If you are looking for a quick cheap place to sleep then this may be the place for you. But it is certainly is not a home away from home where you can relax and enjoy the city without being monitored 24 / 7. If I were you I would not book this place.
