Airbnb - Kate Albert Ekaterina Albert - Anna Solanova AIRBNB ILLEGAL BOARDING SCAM - YOU WILL LOSE YOUR MONEY Brookyln New York

Airbnb illegal boarding house is located at (((REDACTED))) Brooklyn, NY 11234.  It is a two-story family home with three bedrooms, a basement, garage and three illegal apartments at the side and rear of the home.  Kate Albert and Anna Solanova are overcrowing this home and utilizing it as an Airbnb illegal hotel against city regulations.  Literally the entire home is occupied by folding beds, from the entryway to 10 beds in the living room, to beds in the basement.  It resembles a red cross disaster relief shelter.

I had the displeasure of staying in this home for the summer, as I had initally paid for two months to stay on a folding bed in the living room.  When I arrived, I discovered that I would be sleeping with 8 other people.  It was blazing hot in the summertime and the place had no air conditioning.  She warns in her advertising that the place is does not have a cleaning lady, and it a private home, however, this does not prepare you for the level or dirt and disgust.  The fecculent conditions are simply indescribable.

In addtion to this, the home is riddled with violence and it is impossible to sleep at night due to constant brawls that pour into the living room.  Coupled with the frequent and regular police visits, it is even more impossible to fucntion or sleep.  Kate was always constantly drunk and Anna was constantly walking around naked in front of both guests and her child, much to the chargin of those who were expecting a higher standard.

I complained about the conditions and was initially threatened that if I said anything else, I would be summarily evicted from the premesis.  Kate and Anna made it very clear that they would make me leave without any sort of refund, and proudly stated they had done it before to others.  After another arrest due to a brawl, I once again stated to them that this was unacceptable.  Their response was to toss my property on the floor and tell me that if I did not leave, they would call thugs to physically harm me.  I left simply due to the fact that this place was not worth any further trouble.

I contacted airbnb, and they were extremely passive about the whole issue.  I was only owed a small amount, so did not push the matter.  Another woman did get a refund from airbnb only after hiring a lawyer to deal with them.  Long story short, you should never use Airbnb because there is no protection for guests, they just shrug their shoulders and tell you to try to work it out even if you are facing physical harm.
