Our two-night stay was a very big disappointment. The house appeared to be a coop or frat-house holding this single Airbnb unit. The shared space in the front foyer was full of dirty dishes, filthy, and even used by one of the tenants for yoga at one point. The location - the reason we picked it - was very good thus justifying the cost (fair value, for us). We were 30 min late arriving due to ferry traffic so we were advised we had missed the briefing from the host. Although there weren’t any instructions available, he did text the front door and wifi codes, and advised which fridge we could use.
The small room was filthy in all aspects except for the sheets and pillowcases. The (stained, damaged) carpet, sticky tile floor, duvet cover and all surfaces in the room require a good cleaning. Although there wasn’t any cable service, there was a large monitor and HS internet for your computer (I assume it worked). The mattress was hard, and both the hangar-less “closets” and the room hardware (including two metal chairs, floor fan, side tables with lamps) felt like cheap, dorm-like add-ons. There were no extra sheets / blankets and only two well-used pillows. There was a joining roof-top “balcony” that was unusable because it was filthy, dilapidated and occupied with wire (a broken clothesline?), a garden hose with attachments, and a dirty carpet hanging over the rail. Opening that door did improve the air flow into the room, though.
The bathroom was a fan-less disaster. It was filthy, featuring caked-on dust/scum on the walls, soap dispenser, toilet, and sink, a mirror with toothpaste splatter, bad odour, and a very sticky floor. There were no clothes / towels, drinking glass or mug, or Kleenex, and it was adorned with only three toilet brushes and a small, “Walmart-quality” garbage can. A second roll of TP was left on the small counter as the last roll in its large plastic bag. The “closet” was empty and the showers ran / dripped non-stop. It appeared to have untapped potential with quality tile, sink and hardware. We were brought two hand towels for bathing and two additional pillows once we asked for them.
For security, the neighbourhood is safe, the front door had a coded lock and the room had a standard bedroom lock. There was no way to lock the bedroom from the outside so we took our valuables with us. Ultimately, we spent no time in the room except to sleep.
