I've never given a lower-than-5-star review for AirBnb. The main reasons are their lack of communication and the construction. They're a business - not an individual, and it certainly comes across that way.
Pros:
- Location
- Cleanliness
Cons:
- Communication: On three separate occasions, didn't get an answer from them. First was about potentially getting in right after the cleaners, second was about how to check in, third was asking them where their cutting board was.
- Missing some basics, e.g. cutting board, good knives, large pot
- Bathroom door doesn't really open all the way
- TV + Couch setup wasn't usable. You can kind of see this from the photos
- It's small, even for a studio (we stayed at another in the Janion that was significantly wider + longer)
- There's construction right outside, which is actually pretty loud during the day. It's for a condo building that has barely been started, so I think this will be for a while. This includes blasting (large noises + vibrations) every once in a while.
