My husband and I live out of Airbnbs and have stayed in ~ 50 of them. We stayed here a month and we're bit torn on how to rate this one. There were things we loved about it, and a few things we didn't love. I'm giving it 5 stars since our biggest gripe wasn't the hosts fault, but it did really hinder our experience.
Here are our pros and cons:
Pros: AMAZING location. Seriously, I think it would be hard to beat! The apartment itself is huge & spacious with good facilities. Good & stable internet. Easy check in/out. Loved having netflix and the kitchen had lots of extras.
Cons: We tend to avoid hosts that run dozens of Airbnbs because you can kind of tell when the love and effort is put into a home, and when it's being done for business. This one gave us a definite business vibe. The listing photos are either older or photoshopped and don't reflect the slight furniture damage/slight dirt/grime in the apartment. Really, no biggy for us, but don't expect it to be quite as posh as photos appear to be.
-Next was the general disorganization. Not trying to nitpick, but we went out and bought dishwashing stuff and trash bags... because the kitchen cabinet was so messy we didn't even see the already supplied materials under the sink. Apartment was more of a 4/5 on general cleanliness and could use a good detailing. Again, not a huge deal. most Airbnb's aren't perfect.
-Our final and biggest issue isn't the fault of the host, but the neighbors there drove us INSANE with their noise. Their behavior was NOT normal. They would randomly blast bass-y music for ~20m-1hr at a time, penetrating walls, doors, pillows over the head, & earplugs at all hours of the day multiple times a day (usually 5+).. 8am, 11am, 1pm, 4pm, 2am, 4am, 6am. Totally random. every. single. day. If they weren't blasting music, they would make strange moaning noises that sounded like someone writhing with food poisoning stomach cramps for hours at a time multiple days a week, almost always (but not limited to) the middle of the night/wee hours of the morning. That's not all... in-between the music and moaning about 3 times a week, they would wail/sob for HOURS and slam doors/argue in the main hall. I have no idea what was going on there, but my husband and I could NOT get a good night of sleep here because of them. Luckily we had the extra room away from their stereo for their extra musical nights, but it didn't help much if they were being extra noisy/sobbing/door slamming.
If the neighbors moved or were gone, we would happily stay here again. It was surprisingly quiet otherwise (blocked the road noise well) and we liked the place itself a lot, especially location and the size of the unit (desks we loved too!). I do realize this building seems to cater to shorter term housing, so the neighbors may very well not be a problem by the time you make your stay... but for us it made for a rough month of sleep and there's no chance we'd stay again so long as they're there. lol
