While the age and repair of AirBnB suites varies considerably, we found this rental to be near the bottom for accuracy and quality. The location was a quiet and safe neighbourhood, but the suite needs changes.
This basement suite is accessed through a set of steep stairs often unlit, as its motion detection security light rarely worked. While the kitchen has pots, pans, large fridge, microwave and utensils, it has no kettle or coffee machine. The kitchen cupboards do not close and, having no drawers, the kitchen’s cutlery/utensils are loose on the microwave, and there is insufficient room for unrefrigerated groceries. The bathroom shower is very short and small, with an 8” step up. The bed is a queen, not a king, as advertised. The cot/couch has a thin mattress and is uncomfortable to sit on for longer than a half hour. The bed linens looked good but smelled like cooking grease. Only 2 threadbare towels were provided in the bathroom, and we weren’t given any fresh ones during our one week stay. We couldn’t find the listed clothes washer and figured that it was another of the listing inaccuracies (we were told of its location the night before we left).
