The online photos don't display the major renovation that is currently going on in Sharon's home. It was very shocking when first entering the property and I prayed that my son and I were going to have a decent place to stay. The initial room I was provided was located on the third floor which was very well appointed with the exception of the hanging light fixture which wasn't mounted to the ceiling.
I was informed it was an upgrade and was given the opportunity to go to the room that I initially booked to speak with the individual that was in the space. This individual was given the opportunity to view the room on the third floor that my son and I were provided with but unfortunately I wasn't given the opportunity to view the room she was staying in. I was only allowed to view the living room area. Because according to Sharon her stuff was in the room. Understandable, but my stuff was also in the room on the third floor as well and yet she was allowed to view it. The room which I was provided after the boarder agreed to switch was in the basement, which had no AC and a hole in the ceiling. After a couple of days the instillation began to fall out. However, I was provided with two powerful fans which was helpful due to the lack of AC.
A plastic bed covering (which is understandable) was under the sheets but was very uncomfortable due to no mattress pad (which should go over the plastic covering). My son spent two nights at Sharon's but I ended up checking out early and booking a hotel room so our last night in NYC would be a comfortable one. Sharon and her husband seem like very nice people but I don't think anyone should rent out a room that has a hole in the ceiling.
