The place was really cute and the pictures were accurate. Sam was also very accommodating and allowed us the check-in early and out late, which was appreciated. If you’re looking for something a bit closer to downtown, the subway station isn’t too far of a walk, but it’s about an hour train ride, and the place is in Brooklyn, but a bit closer to Coney Island, which wasn’t a problem, but it just would’ve been nice to know before booking. When we arrived, however, he let us know a previous guest had the windows open and had let in over 100 flies, who are attracted to the trash, and to be advised that if we opened the windows flies may come in, but there is a fly swatter available and he told us “not to leave a bad review about it.” I saw a few flies, but thought nothing of it and purposely didn’t open any windows the entire time. Everything else in the stay was so great, but the flies became a problem very hard to ignore. There were hundreds of flies everywhere and they were super aggressive! All over rags/towels in the bathrooms, in the toilet, all over the sheets, kitchen, couches, everywhere. It was almost impossible to eat anything because you had to fight a swarm of flies. Even after a shower, I never felt clean because it was just like we were wiping fly eggs right back on us and sleeping in the bed with them, too. We asked Sam if he could provide some type of trap and he said there is one in the bedroom if we cut the lights off, but it was not sufficient and we were pretty much left to deal with the problem on our own, but there were way too many to swat. He also tried to make it seem like it was our fault that the flies were there, which is completely inaccurate, especially since he mentioned that there was a fly problem when we checked in. I appreciated everything Sam did to accommodate us, but this experience has re-shaped the way I view Airbnbs. Definitely did not expect to have to swat away flies for the duration of my trip especially after paying $1,500 for 6 nights. I’ll definitely resume using hotels from now on!
