I don’t know where to start. I’m going to say the best of Jermaine’s place it’s that I had to stay there for just one night.
The area is not that bad, but those two blocks from the avenue to the apt, are kind of empty. Dirty. Looks abandoned.
I took the keys and when I opened the black door there was a hallway that looked in construcción or without finish. Ok. When I went to the door I saw a rat on the background but I thought Ok, it’s hot, it’s Brooklyn, it’s New York, it’s ok.
I opened the door and I went to my room. The kitchen it’s always dark because everything it’s closed and there was a little bit of smell. It’s ok I thought, it’s New York. But when I went to my room…ok. This is not what I was expecting. I’ve been in really bad rooms but this one is one of the worse.
I’m not a really demanding person and I can adapt to everything but honestly I was expecting something way to different.
The room was really really small.
The bed looks like someone slept in there last night. It didn’t look clean.
Man, you can’t show this room as an “Amazing room with workspace”. Be honest. I had my carry on and mu suitcase open and I barely could walk in there. Also the “workspace” it was just a simple chair with a small desk table. Come on.
There’s a fan on the ceiling and there was another fan on the “workspace”. I thought why two fans? And I realized in the night that the one on the ceiling just don’t work when you turn the lights off. There’s a window but it’s closed, and I thought that with the rats outside it’s convenient. Especially because the window it’s closed with a wall. There some bars and after that, a wall. So there’s no air at all. That’s why you need the fans. Anyways I woke up this morning and I was al sweat. There’s no air circulation there.
Ok. I went to the bathroom. It’s weird. The shower it’s ok. But not the sink.
First, man you are charging me 25 dollars for a clean fee. The bathroom it’s not clean at all. The showers was full of hair and dust or something like that. And it really needs a little bit of bleach.
The sink was so weird. First, again full of hair. But thats not even the worst, I couldn’t use the towel because smelled really disgusting. And today in the morning when I was brushing my teeth, my shoulders where touching both walls. Yes. As you read. I’m 1.82 cms. Not that tall or big. But I barely can fit in the place to use the sink.
I also forgot to tell that the room looks like it’s falling in a hole. If you leave your suitcase stand, it’s going to roll to one of the walls. The same happens with the door for the same reason.
I went for a walk and I returned around 10:30. The hallway was completely dark and With some rats. I had to turn on the flashlight from my phone.
The whole night there was over 70 dollars. 25 are from cleaning fee. I can’t believe it.
Honestly man I’m not trying to bother you, I know it’s nyc and I’ve been in other rooms before but you can’t charge that for this room.
I think if I’m going to offer a service, I would do everything I could to make everyone feel comfortable.
I’m annoyed about Airbnb having no standards for the rooms the show on the app.
And I’m also disappointed about the reviews. Man I’m not staying in hotels and beautiful rooms but at least decent rooms. I’m not expecting a luxury room but at least a clean and with air flow . And bathroom.
I went there because of the reviews but I don’t understand why people don’t say anything but good things.
I’m not trying to tell you to not go there but at least know what are you going to get there. I know someone is going to say that I’m wrong but you’ll see everything when you are there. I wish someone wrote a review like this before.
In the other hand, thanks for allowing me to stay one hour and a half longer Jermaine. I didn’t see you but I appreciate that. Thanks.
