My family and I just got back from several days at Erin and Eli’s spot in Brooklyn. I will start with the pros. This place is perfect if you have a small child and/or pets. We have a 21 month old and the toys were awesome and the backyard was great for our dogs. Both were ideal for entertaining especially since it was extraordinarily hot while we were there. The location is great as we were able to access everything we wanted in Brooklyn and also it’s not too far from Manhattan should you wish to venture into the city. Everything was well stocked and we had plenty of space.
The one major con which bumped their review down from five stars was that when I booked our trip, my three major criteria were that pets were allowed, there was Wi-Fi, and that there was air-conditioning, especially as I am six months pregnant and as I mentioned we have a toddler.
Upon arrival, the house was rather toasty and I reached out to find out how we could adjust the air temperature since air conditioning was listed as an amenity as I had taken screenshots of the amenities before arriving. After further inquiry with the host, they informed me that there was no air conditioning available at the time as the units were in storage and I noticed then that the air conditioning was no longer listed as an amenity. I felt extremely awkward and not sure what to do since the forecast called for high 80s/90s and traveling with a toddler and being pregnant I knew we could not stay there given the hot conditions. After a brief back-and-forth with Airbnb customer service and Erin and Eli, they agreed to put in the window units and we were able to get AC by that same day late afternoon.
