Raymond and his family were very kind throughout my stay and understand that sometimes things don't go according to plan. Unfortunately Raymond was out of country when I arrived at the Airbnb, and as such, the space was not as well prepared (based on the other reviews, my guess is that this isn't the standard).
The Airbnb was unfortunately uncleaned/minimally cleaned when I arrived. I informed Raymond of this and he immediately sent someone the next day to clean the place for me. After some back and forth, the place was a bit more as I'd expect from an Airbnb, however there were still some cleanliness issues (dust bunnies throughout, unclean shower glass, etc.). Again, based on the other reviews, I don't think this is the standard, but I can't be sure. Raymond also provided me with an 8% refund for the cleanliness issues I experienced during my stay.
The kitchen is indeed basic as described, so minimal cooking/baking is suggested. If you're planning to stay for a while, as I did (a week), you may find it helpful to pick up some basics before arrival (ex. oil, salt/pepper, aluminum foil, etc.).
The bedroom/bed is as described by the other guests.
The location is as described as well. I was staying temporarily during a busy week at school (York), so the location was decently convenient for me, but it is not really central to much else.
Raymond does seem eager to make the Airbnb experience better for his future guests. I am hopeful that he will take some of my suggestions into account and will be able to create a more inviting stay for future guests.
