I have never written a “bad0 review but wanted to preface this for fellow travelers that this is the kind of Airbnb I hate: the hosts don’t live near or on the property, (which is located in a gentrifying neighborhood), cheap furnishings in a home with no redeeming qualities or even tips or suggestions or even a host welcome note or guide… this Airbnb exists simply to host people for cheap.
Pro’s: great value in Brooklyn, very spacious (big enough for family of 3 with infant). Host was initially responsive but when we needed to change dates/shorten trip, suddenly was MIA.
Con’s: as an Asian female, I didn’t quite feel safe walking around the neighborhood mostly because there were a lot of homeless men around, home was dirty upon arrival (white dust coated the floor, dirty towels with brown stains, food particles in the kitchen sink, hair in the bathroom/toilet), the home was missing basic amenities like hand soap and a hand towel (had to borrow kitchen towel for bathroom and we Instacarted hand soap ourselves that night), no coffee maker or even a bottle opener. We asked host for soap and new towels which were delivered the following morning (towels were still stained).
