From the perspective of a loyal AirBnB user who has not stayed at hotels for any long vacations in many years, this particular ABnB is the worst I’ve ever stayed at. The prompt communication from my host is the only reason I’m giving it 2 stars. Do yourself a favor, book elsewhere.
For us, this booking was a last minute change forced due to cancellation of our original booking by previous host, and poor handling of situation by AirBnB team. I wish I could also rate ABnB team as 1 star for that and bad handling of our complaints, below.
Location: this ABnB is at the junction of two very busy streets and you constantly hear the noise of vehicles slowing and accelerating, despite the windows. The walk score is poor and it’s at least 25-30 minutes from any decent restaurant or grocery / convenience store.
Cleanliness: The bedsheets and the bathrooms were clean but both cooking and serving dishes were unclean with stuck-on food. The kitchen floor was sticky and laundry room had both mud and mold. The garbage bin in kitchen had no lid forcing us to leave garbage open, and throw in larger trash can every night. The larger trash can at the back of the house by the garage was full of rotting, previously thrown garbage bags.
Comfort and amenities: the main living room had the most uncomfortable single couch and two dining chairs that served as additional seating. The larger primary bedroom had poor ventilation and poor climate control. We could barely sleep there because of how hot it would get. On contacting the host, we were told that only way to address this to open the window (which meant even louder noise due to traffic). The TV in the living room had no cable connection, or any apps on the TV itself. Chromecast option was available that only worked for certain apps. The bathroom supplies were of poor quality.
Our group of 4 was surprised at the high ratings this ABnB has previously received. It certainly doesn’t has any amenities or qualities to justify a 560$ a night charge! All it has are 5 spacious bedrooms so maybe it’s a cost effective option for a big family or large group of college students - but I can’t see any other redeeming quality in this listing to justify its prior reviews.
