This Brooklyn apartment was a wonderful stay. It was comfortable and mostly clean. However, during our stay, while using the jetted tub, a bunch of dirt and sludge flowed out of the jets while my friend was using it. She was in the middle of taking what she thought would be a relaxing bath when she was bombarded with dirt all over her body. She called the experience “traumatizing”. With this in mind we are requesting you return some of our money - not all, but some. We appreciate the lodgings but the bathtub soured our impressions of the place.
When trying to negotiate for a partial refund the host went back and forth with me. At first I requested $409 but conceded that that may have been too much. I then requested $189 (daily rate) + $100 (the cleaning fee) since it seemed cleaning was very minimal for the apartment. The fact that the bathtub had dirt coming out of it leaves much to be desired in terms of cleanliness. The rest of the apartment stays clean I imagine due to the many house rules presented in picture frames throughout the residence.
After my request of $289 the host ignored my request for the additional $100 and stated $189 had been sent.
Another thing I should mention is that there’s construction going on in the backyard. Sometimes it continued late into the night.
Overall, if they fixed the cleaning of the bathtub issue, lowered the cleaning fee, and the construction of the backyard was finished then I would recommend staying here.
