My family and I have used Airbnb a total of 48 times (short and long term stays) all over the world and never received or given a negative review. This was a long-term stay, and the place was decent enough, if not minimal. The host seems inexperienced and I would not recommend staying here if you want a pleasant experience. There was a miscommunication at one point and she tried to get an extra $1200/month OFF the Airbnb platform (for my son to stay in the tiny office, with no bed). I think she got bitter that we declined, because she promptly installed a camera in the unit to monitor who was going in and out. During NYU graduation week, and two weeks before checkout both my daughter and her friend asked the host about having an overnight guest (out of town guests visiting for graduation), and AGAIN, this host tried to charge them over $200/night to have guests in their own rooms, and tried to do so OFF the platform and against Airbnb policy, despite the fact we'd agreed to only communicate on the platform. Both girls declined the offer and made different arrangements. A few days later, the host messaged me to accuse us of breaking the rules and having overnight guests without permission, which I guarantee did not happen. I told her as much and told her to check her camera footage....As mentioned, my family and I have MUCH experience on Airbnb. We follow rules to the letter and leave places better than we found them. Communication with the host, accusations and being closely monitored on camera (lack of privacy) soured this experience. Furthermore - the listing mentions the following amenities, and none of them were provided throughout our stay: cleaning products, shampoo, soap, toilet paper. The kitchen did not have enough items (dishes, utensils, cups) so we just bought our own.
