I try to give positive reviews and feedback, but I have to be honest.
I met Gillian and her little boys in passing - very nice. The listing looks just like the photos, and is in a quiet residential area. Quiet hours are peaceful. But there were a couple issues with the listing.
A common wall is mentioned but there’s also a common door with space beneath, so it sounds like the kids/family are in the same room. Weekday mornings and some evenings were quite noisy.
I checked the listing and reviews carefully to find a quiet place…. Maybe something’s changed?
Didn’t find the “full kitchen ware” described. 2 coffee mugs a good one and an old defective Christmas mug, no glassware only 4 very old acrylic stemless cups, and only 2 butter knives (there are steak knives, but are awkward). Other cookware is quite basic as others have reviewed. I shared this with the host so hopefully it’s been restocked.
The only scrub sponge to wash dishes was worn out and dirty. The dishes would have been washed with it so I rewashed before using. Clearly not committed to Airbnb’s “enhanced cleaning process”.
Lastly, the bed is seriously hard, which is how some people like it (but not me).
So, an ok place for people who like very hard beds, plan to be out all day, and don’t cook much.
I enjoyed a chance meeting Gillian, but this apartment is not a good fit for me.
