Initially, my family And I thought we were getting a great opportunity to visit our home town and to also stay in this Airbnb. But Once we arrived that all changed. As soon as you walk in the strong smell of roach spray hits you. The place was clean visually but the kitchen had roaches crawling on the walls, on the refrigerator, and there were dead and live roaches inside the refrigerator. Disgusting. I informed the host right away and he advised us to kill the ones we saw, spray them with the available roach spray in the cabinet, and he’ll send us $50 for the inconvenience. Mind you this is NYC, so if we were to cancel and request a refund we wouldn’t be able to find another place to stay at such short notice for 6 people, which includes a 2 year old and a child with asthma. We had to contact Airbnb directly to get some of our money back-after purchasing cleaning supplies and having to tightly secure our food in the refrigerator once we cleaned it. I would not recommend this place whatsoever. Don’t waste your time or your money
