***Take pictures of EVERYTHING when you arrive - host will try to charge you for damaged/missing items when you check out!!!! Host seemed friendly at first but was a complete different person during end of stay
A list of things you will need to bring:
1. dishes/silverware - dirty
2. coffee maker - missing
3. storage - the closet is full
4. hangers - there are only ~4
5. pillows - they are all stained yellow
6. extra door lock - one is missing a security chain
7. Roku/streaming device - tv doesn't connect without one
Other things of note: the neighbors windows have a direct view to the shower, the mirror cabinet is broken, multiple drawers in dresser don't open, there are minimal pots and pans (no oven mits, strainer, etc), the mattress topper slides off, there is no rug as shown in the picture, there is an entry door right across from the bed
Despite having a cleaning service/fee, the apartment was dirty upon arrival. There was dirt/dust in the corners and sticky counters. The plates/dishes/cups/silverware were so gross that I decided to buy my own. The colored sponges were practically black because they were so dirty. While Maryse did eventually purchase new sponges, this was an inconvenience that could have easily been avoided.
I could not agree more with Hillary's review , specifically when she said "It became evident, after check out, that Maryse tried to find any avenue possible to charge us. In our time traveling the country with my job for the last year, typically with Airbnb, we have yet to have such a contrast in communication with a host pre and post-checkout."
Like Hillary, Maryse tried to charge me for damaged items upon checkout. She claimed there were stains on her brand new white sheets (which I did not even use). Maryse instantly became defensive and uncomfortable to communicate with. She then requested 98$ for the cheap sheets that were dirty before I arrived.
Additionally, Maryse was nothing but rude when I informed her of my ESA and threatened additional fees against the NY laws surrounding emotional support animals.
Overall, the place was dirty and not accurately represented by the pictures. After a deep cleaning it was OK but I would not stay again due to the host.
