I have never stayed at an airbnb before, so I don't have anything to compare it to. Our host was pleasant and the location was very convenient for us as we were visiting family in the area. I do feel there could be room for improvement in the area of cleanliness and comfort with regard to bedding and just general layout - I'm not a fan of cold dark basements, so this may have affected my overall impression. If you just need a place to sleep, it fits the bill.
