Loved the apartment and Greenpoint is a lovely neighborhood. Great view of Manhattan and I had a beautiful sunset view every night.
There were very specific instructions for using the bathroom and kitchen that are understandable due to the age of the building.
The host himself was a nightmare. His mood swung wildly, especially at one point when I wanted to use the microwave the same time he was in the kitchen and he accused me of “ruining his flow” and “hogging the kitchen.”
It got to the point where I started locking the bedroom door whenever I came back the apartment, actively getting out earlier and staying out later to avoid seeing him, and not leaving the bedroom when I knew he was out in the common areas.
The host was also super condescending during checkout when I couldn’t immediately take everything with me due to circumstances out of my control, saying I was “always bad with scheduling.”
The apartment is great but the host isn’t worth the extra stress you’ll get.
