THIS IS NOT A 1 BEDROOM APARTMENT. THIS IS A ROOM IN AN APARTMENT. This listing is an apartment were one room is rented out, Zaza stays in one room and it seemed like there was another person around as well. The bathroom is shared. The bathroom is small and Zaza said only use soap labeled "AIR BNB" but there was no soap available with that label. The bathroom was disgusting. I had to clean it just to sit on it and do number 2, when going number , I squatted. There were little black hairs all over the shower walls, sink, toilet and floors. Only took one shower and when I saw the hairs in the shower, got out immediately and never got another there. If comparing to a hotel bathroom it would of been comparable to a 2 star hotel bathroom. When I got there, Zaza looked like she was about to go to bed. She handed me the keys to the front door and explained that the bathroom was shared. Her and another women spoke for a little bit in the living room, then she went to her room. I only spoke with her one other time during my stay about a restaurant. The living room looked disheveled and unwelcoming. Zaza said we could use the living room but we were to not sleep there. When we arrived her friend was laying on it watching TV and it felt like that was there space and we weren't welcomed. The kitchen is shared as well. I was not made aware before hand that the fridge would also be shared. Zaza stated that if we had any items to put in fridge, to make her aware, so that she could make room. There was barely any room to be made. It looked as if she had recently went grocery shopping; it was packed. We had to leave food in the car that ended up melting or going bad. The fridge was filthy and looked like it had never been cleaned out. That made us uncomfortable with leaving items there anyway. If you plan on cooking there, DONT. The kitchen was filthy. In the mornings when I woke up there were signs of cooking or drinking the night before; dishes left on the counter and in the sink. Never once were we told that we were allowed to use the stove and it also felt unwelcoming, too. The bedroom walls looked like they were props for a horror movie. They were so filthy and caked with gunk we didn't even want to put our stuff against the walls or touch them. We had two sleeping pillows, one on each bed. Both were flattened, old and dingy. So were the blankets. Thankfully, we had brought our own blankets and pillows to use. We didn't even use hers; but to lay on top of. I wish we would not have even layed on top of hers, one person from our party got a rash. We pulled the blankets off of the mattresses to see what they looked like, they were unfathomable. They looked like someone had been massacred on them. So many spots and blotches. When comparing to a hotel, the kitchen would have been a 1 star motel. The bedroom would have been 1 star motel, as well. I asked Zaza for a steak house because that's one of the things I went to NYC for. I let her know I was going to "Keens". She suggested and persuaded me to goto "Mastros". DONT GO TO "MASTROS". We spent $300 for food that wasn't better than our city's outback restaurant. When Zaza later asked what I thought about the restaurant, I expressed this to her. She then told me that "you don't go to 'mastros' for the steak you go for the scallops." -_- Why tell someone to go to a steakhouse were the scallops are the only item that's good and not specify this. If your going to NYC for something particular do your own research, don't just necessarily take Zaza's suggestion. THE LISTING SAIDS FREE PARKING BUT THERE IS A CATCH. She lives right in front of a school so Monday-Friday your not allowed to park from 7-mid afternoon. So Friday morning we had to make sure that we moved our vehicle by 7am to avoid a ticket. Also, there is hardly parking around the neighborhood for free, be prepared to pay for parking. If going on a weekend and the school days are not an issue, know that the parking is kind of like an alley way. There is not much space, you will probably not get parking unless you leave the vehicle there and take the subway, like we did. It's not the safest-feeling neighborhood but it doesn't feel like the most dangerous either. Zaza said she did not drive so was not able to offer any parking info for NYC. If you are not going to park your car and take the subway or walk everywhere, be prepared to pay a nice amount for parking in NYC. All in all I will return to NYC, because it is my favorite city, as of yet. But, I will never stay at this place or any other Air BNB that Zaza host's nor would I offer this to my dog.
