Taz is amazing however his place is not.
Long story short: there’s no window and there’s no proper air conditioning solution. You’re going to be SUPER miserable hot here.
When I booked the room it stated it had an air conditioner. During the summer in New York City, it’s going to be important to have air in a room that has NO window. When I arrived to the room the heat instantly slapped me in the face so I turned on what I realized was an air cooler not an air conditioner. The air cooler is basically a fan that will keep spitting out the same hot air. It does not cool the room off but rather can simply blow sort of cool air towards you but such a small amount and it literally has to be in front of your face to feel it. In reality with no ventilation and no window, I was sweating in my sleep. It was so hot! When I informed Taz, he stated that he knows about the situation but couldn’t find a solution. He told me to leave the door open in the room. With so many other guest going in and out I was not comfortable with this but I had no choice. When I left the door closed the room felt like hell when returning. So with my valuables and belongings I left the door open in NYC.
After two nights of being miserable I decided to get Airbnb involved. Again, Taz is really a sweetheart and tried his best to make things right. He bought another machine which actually Made the room cooler, however in order to use the air conditioner the room door must be cracked open because it has an attachment which allows the hot air to come out of the room. So as people went and out of the house they naturally peeped inside the room. I had no privacy with my partner and this made me very uncomfortable once again.
