Pros:
Cleanliness: Excellent, clean space.
Cons:
Accessibility: There was over 15-20 steps up to the second floor suite which for someone who is handicapped is inaccessible without assistance. Thank goodness I had help.
Bugs: We found an Extra Large palm sized Brown Recluse Spider here in-suite, and I was bitten by the spider the night before during my sleep, which resulted in our visit cut short.
Noise: We stayed during the week so we experienced all the car doors opening and closing from the residence in the street which started at 5am for their morning commute to work. I understand it cannot be sound proof, but with no air conditioning in this suite, if you require to keep the window open when you sleep, or would like to sleep in, this is something to take into consideration.
In addition, it would have been nice to have been informed about the new major residential construction on their street as this is a newer development, and the excavators and dump trucks which started up before 7:00am and continued throughout most of the day with the sound of the warning back-up beeper, or back-up alarm or vehicle motion alarm was a very high pitch audible sound which made sleeping in not possible after 7:00am. Especially considering the suite bedroom window faces the front of the street.
This BnB is in a brand new residential area, being the second house next to a major artery, which made many cars and traffic passing by much louder than a regular residential street with no sound barrier and no trees on the street making the traffic passing by echo or repetitive whooshing sound more noticeable if you are not accustomed to that sound on a daily basis. This carried on through the night and well into the morning hours.
Location: 30 minutes of highway driving to Victoria City Centre.
For the reasons stated above, I can now understand why the price per night is so attractive. However, if I would have been made aware of the above noted noise issues. In their defense it is possible the owners are so accustomed to these sounds that they do not even notice them.
