I really hate to write a bad review, but it is what it is. The place is in an AWESOME location and is appealing...until you open the fridge, the kitchen cabinets, or the drawers in the bedroom to unpack anything. I've never stayed at an AirBNB like this, and the person who previously wrote a review about the clutter is 100% correct. I booked this place for a week including Mother's Day. The first thing I always do when checking in is to check the place for cleanliness and to see what I will need to buy for my stay, because I always plan to cook my own food. There isn't one inch of cabinet space in the kitchen or bathroom, no room in the freezer, and full sized open condiments in the fridge and random leftover food items. The bathroom cabinets are also filled with her personal things, most of the drawers in the bedroom are also filled with personal items, and a basket on top of the toilet is filled with used travel size toiletries. As soon as I picked up my phone to send a message to the host about not having space to store anything in the kitchen, she shows up at the door and is already taking off her shoes. I point out that there is no room in the freezer, and no cabinet space for when I go grocery shopping. She literally asks me if I can't leave my things on the counter, but was nice enough to empty a shelf in the freezer. After she stated that groceries could sit on the counter, I didn't bother pointing out anything else that needed to be rectified. The kitchen drawers are all filled with nick-knacks, junk, and garbage...except the one drawer with the eating utensils. The bottom and top cabinets looked as if they took every old pot, every tupperware container, and every old water bottle that they didn't want in the main part of the house and just decided to dump them all in the downstairs kitchen. And believe me, it's a lot of junk!! On top of the pots being old, they all seem to be nonstick, with scratched up and damaged interiors. Can you say toxic cookware? I had to search for two pots that seemed like they might not poison us, and use those for the week. The white towels in the bathroom were stained, the bedsheets had hair on them and a couple old dried up dead bugs, the table mats for eating were filthy, and the blanket that she requests guests to spread on the couch before sitting, already had old bits of dried up food on it. The person I traveled with refused to use the towels that were left out, and refused to sleep in the bed. My son and I woke up every morning dying from allergies. So we were either allergic to the bed linens, or the mattress, or neither were clean. So I spent a week in a place that looks like someone's private home, with all of my groceries laid out on the kitchen counter, allergies killing us, using the same pot to cook every meal, and using random plastic and paperbags for garbage because there is NO garbage bin in the kitchen. I'm sorry, but I payed a lot of money to stay for the week, and if I'm being charged a cleaning and service fee for a place with a "no shoes policy", I expect that place to be immaculate!! I feel like I wasted so much money, especially after I had to go back to NY the following week and found another larger place a couple blocks over that's cleaner, more private, and I can actually cook my own food, for less money. And for goodness sake, please put a trash bin with garbage bags in the kitchen, and please leave NEW/UNUSED scrub sponges in the kitchen and bathroom between guests. You charge more than enough money to be able to do those things. Empty the kitchen cabinets and drawers, empty the dresser drawers in the bedroom, empty the fridge and freezer, and throw out the used travel sized toiletries. Toiletries can easily be replaced by making a trip to the dollar store. I also wish more people would give honest, accurate reviews so that other people don't waste their time and money. Bottom line, if you are not picky about what you sleep on, you have no allergies, you never plan on cooking, and you don't mind opening 6 locks to access where you are staying, this place might work for you.
