This was my first airbnb experience and all of my friends raved about them. I was very excited but ended up very disappointed.

The location is great. The value was decent for what the place was. The pictures make the place look a lot nicer than it really is though. Sam was very adamant about his house rules about not wearing shoes but the floors were not very nice and there was a huge stained area so I am not sure why he made a big deal about that.

The front door key pad was broke for the 1st 2 days, so you didn't even need a keypad to get in the building. The door to the loft did not have a door handle - rather just a keypad. Going into the place it was fine, but leaving you had to hold the door and then put the code in. You could have sprung the extra $20 to get the door handle set.

Within walking in the place within 30 seconds, I walked into the bathroom to check it out there is a slight step up leaving the bathroom that is sharp with no padding. I hit my foot off of and my foot hurt my entire trip (it still hurts 10 days later), so please watch out, it was very painful. This was my least favorite thing about the place.

There was leftover food from a restaurant in the fridge along with half empty bottles of water and expired jelly. There was also a half empty bag of Doritos in the cupboard. The hot water tank was in the tiny kitchen along with the model and a bunch of cables/cords. There were a lot of exposed cables/cords throughout the place. The pictures make the place look huge, but it is not that big. It is the smallest kitchen I have ever seen, the furniture is all cheap, and the most of the drawers don't even shut. The AC unit is super loud and the remote was barely able to be used. The TV had limited channels and there was no where to hang clothes up except the coat rack. The power went off and the alarm went off and I had to contact Sam and wait for him to get back to me to get the code - took like 10-15 minutes. The place wasn't that clean and it was probably cleaner when I left. For the money I paid, I think I could have gotten a lot nicer place in the same neighborhood.
