tayron was a fine host, but as far as airbnbs go this wasn’t a great experience.
it’s walking distance to and from the j/m lines; however, this means walking through several blocks of public housing (essentially the roughest part of bed-stuy). i had a guy follow me for a couple blocks after ignoring him for yelling something at me (that was mostly unintelligible).
the airbnb itself has paper thin walls. the first room faces the street, and honestly just sounds like you’re outside. this, coupled with two of the loudest airbnb guests i’ve ever shared a space with (i’ll avoid listing some of the not-so-PG details, but let your imagination run wild lol) made sleep…challenging. i know it’s brooklyn, but this might be the ‘final boss’ in terms of noise tolerance (at all hours of the day, no less).
less importantly, the airbnb perpetually smelled like weed. there seemed to be lots of cleaning done otherwise, so that’s good, but yeah: weed-smell. didn’t really bother me, but i know that’s not for everyone.
i want to reiterate, tayron was a fine host. they were easy to communicate with and had a considerate disposition despite my complaints. i don’t feel like anything i mentioned above is really their fault, but that also means i’m not sure what they could do to fix things.
