Barb was very accommodating in letting us check in early. Though Barb was very accommodating her apartment was not well kept.
-The floors were clearly dirty, uneven, and damaged.
-There were dust balls and dirt everywhere.
-The tub is damaged and needs to be re-glazed.
-The shower water smells like hydrogen peroxide but we think that's a New York issue just beware.
-There are no full sets of dishes or pots.
-The dresser drawers do not have bottoms.
-The heat does not reach the basement.
-Cold air seeps through the basement windows.
-There was no hand soap.
-We were left with a sole roll of paper towels with 5 paper towels left on it with no additional paper towel rolls.
-There is a random door downstairs that is duck taped shut with a towel stuffed at the foot of the door.
-The stair case is steep and slippery.
-The bed downstairs is not on a bed frame it sits directly on the floor.
-The pull outs beds are basically covered spring boards.
-Both pull out couches cannot be pulled out simultaneously without causing a fire hazard.
-There are random screws hanging from the pipe on the ceiling in the basement at a 6'4" clearance (dangerous). -The mini fridges are dirty.
-The lamp downstairs does not have a shade.
-There is no iron.
-There are odd amounts of industrial sized laundry detergent stacked in the living room.
-There are only two washcloths.
-There are supposedly clean but unfolded sheets in the linen closet.
-There is only one ply toilet paper.
-There was dirty laundry in the hamper.
-BUT the 99¢ tea lights do offer a nice ambiance (lol).
-There are NY trinkets everywhere and the oddest collection of books I've ever seen.
-Natural light does not exist here, but that's an NY thing.
-The "curtains" are fabric pieces taped to the window.
-There was hot chocolate and teas with a broken pot on the stove left for us to use to boil water.
-The grouting is a filthy disgrace.
-The light switch and outlet covers are barely screwed on and cracked, some are even missing large chunks of the cover.
-The furniture is wobbly or broken.
This is no ones home away from home. This is a halfway house in a safe neighborhood. This is my worst Air BnB experience and I've used hem across the globe. This just felt like a spare property that was dusted off for extra money. It's simply not worth the savings. Not at all. I want more than my cleaning fee back. I wanted to stay somewhere else.
