tl;dr DO NOT STAY HERE

My month long stay at Charlotte's place was the worst AirBnb experience I've EVER had. The location is great - you're right off of 5th avenue in Park Slope and within walking distance of Atlantic Terminal/Barclay's Center and the public transportation is excellent. I only have 500 words so I'll just cut to the chase about the bad parts of the experience:

1) The bathroom is disgusting. There is shed hair everywhere and I don't know if they ever clean it. I honestly feel bad for the 2 guys who live in the apartment because they have to deal with massive amounts of shed hair everywhere.

2) For the last 10 days of my stay, there was NO TOILET PAPER.

3) The building is undergoing repairs, so there were days were there was no water in the apartment (and thus the toilet couldn't even be flushed).

4) The entire apartment is d-i-r-t-y. From trash being left on the kitchen floor for days to the stove/fridge/cooking area never being cleaned. The room I stayed in was also very dirty. There was massive amounts of dust and shed hair everywhere in my room.

5) Kitchen appliances are kept on the floor. The microwave, water kettle, and toaster oven are all kept on the floor of the kitchen (which is where trash is also kept in-between garbage pickups).

6) As you can see from the picture, the room is tiny, but nobody emptied the closet/shoe rack so that I could store my things there during my month-long stay.

And finally, I left a few things in the refrigerator when I moved out, and texted Charlotte immediately when I realized and set up a time to come back and pick up my belongings 2 days later. When I arrived, they had already thrown away my belongings and so I wasted my time in going there.

I was also accused of having somebody else living with me when I had a friend visiting for the weekend. It's pretty socially isolating living there too because the roommates speak to each other exclusively in Mandarin and so it was hard for me to connect. They're really nice people though!

All in all, I did not enjoy my stay here and would never return.
