When Baker checked in, however, she discovered that it was a bit different from what was advertised.
Instead of overlooking New York City, the room’s window looked directly into a restaurant’s dining room. The restaurant wasn’t located across the street or was blocking her view.

Instead, the restaurant was located directly on the other side of Baker’s window. In the footage that she shared to TikTok, guests can be seen eating at a table directly outside her window.
When asked for comment, a representative for Airbnb said that they worked with Baker and that the hotel is under investigation.
In a follow-up video, Baker explained that the window was actually a one-way mirror. This way, the people inside the restaurant wouldn’t be able to look into the hotel room. They also wouldn’t know that there could be a person on the other side of the glass watching them.

Oddly, the window does appear to open, which seems to give the hotel room direct access to the restaurant.
