I had never stayed in an Airbnb “Plus” and decided to give one a try. This place looked gorgeous from the pictures and the decor did not disappoint. However, as much as I wanted to love it, I just could not.
Pros: Lovely furnishings, very comfortable bed, excellent responsive hosts.
Superb location.
Cons: First impression of the building = ick. Stained carpets in hallways, dirty walls. It felt very down market compared to others I’ve stayed in.
Unit is on 2nd floor. There are sheer drapes in the living room but you’re still totally exposed. The windows look out at huge a/c units. The balcony is therefore unappealing (unless maybe if you’re a smoker and you would appreciate it.) For me, this was a showstopper. Had I realized it was on the 2nd floor, I never would have booked it. I don’t know if I missed that in the description.
There were small annoying maintenance issues such as no working electric outlets in the bedroom (which the host says she is taking care of.)
The place was not spotlessly clean. When you walk in, it looks good, and then you start noticing things like hair in bathroom.
Shower head is just ok and the shower curtain falls off the rings when you move it.
