EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING PLACE AND HOST - read below.
The photos made the room look much bigger than it was.
The closest train station is a good 20 minutes walk - that is not a 'close' walk.
But WORST OF ALL - when we politely communicated that the neighbours were renovating their place with lots of noise (between the hours of 10pm and 6am on both nights, mind you), Jonathan's response was " For any reason if being here is too uncomfortable, I’m sure there’s other Airbnb hosts in the vicinity. "
WOW, just wow.
We didn't get any sleep both nights - which was very frustrating and extremely disappointing. My partner went outside at 4am in the morning to see what was going on and he saw their neighbour, drunk with paint on his clothes, walking up the stairway.
Also, we saw Jonathan in the living room on the Saturday night when we were walking up to the apartment. He must have bolted rather quickly because when we opened the front door 15 seconds later, he was no where to be seen - so much for him saying he wished he had the chance to have a chat with us when we were there.
Lies and passive aggressiveness in all their latter messages only made the whole experience the worst for us (including deceit on being unable to get faint clothes dye transfers off the sheets and accusing us of some other stains). When we questioned the sheets and asked if we could come by to have a look at them, he miraculously replied saying the stains had come off.
This AirBnb pretty much ruined the first two days of our New York trip.
