We chose Allie's place based on the location and the living space described in the pictures provided. For these two aspects, the description was fully correct and the first impact was really good. On the other hand, unfortunately, we had to notice that the cleaning and sanitizing process of the apartment was way below a reasonable standard. The first day we had to spend time collecting and providing documentation to Allie and Airbnb to support our request to leave the premise and move to another place. Differently, the condition of the unit would have required us to leave the apartment for many hours to allow a cleaning crew to fix the place. We believe that proposing an apartment where the host usually lives when the apartment is not rented, is definitely a challenge but it cannot become an excuse to leave it in the conditions we found it. Our hope is that Allie fully understands our inconvenience and how this issue compromised our stay in NYC, so that future guest can fully enjoy their stay.
