The place is beautifully laid out inside. Nice living space. There is a sauna which I would have loved to use but didn’t have the energy unfortunately- same for the beautiful backyard deck area. Kitchenette was also nice. TV and couch area very nice. Bathroom and shower was nice too. Bed was very comfy. Very nice living space.
This was my first AirBnB experience and in my opinion it should be very clearly described that this is a basement apartment style “suite” that you have to access through the host’s garage and storage areas (which have things stored in them) to get to the “nice” space.
The sound proofing is poor (you can hear people talking upstairs) and due to the two little dogs barking at various times it did affect my sleep for my stay at times (the dogs that is). I was very disappointed in this and will not likely be returning here. I’m sure the dogs are very friendly (I met one) but any barking dogs should be clearly noted in the add description in case guests want a quieter experience or perhaps have allergies. Perhaps I missed this in the ad description.
The lack of any actual doors on the bedrooms (a folding closet door is not a real bedroom door) and no locks on doors accessing the actual living space I did not feel overly secure.
It also would have been nice to receive a message part way through just to touch base and see if I needed anything - just a nice added touch that puts it a step above a hotel. There are lots of nice little “touches” throughout the space though.
These things are just my opinions. I’m sure others have had better stays with more AirBnB experience than me. It did give me a better idea of things to ask before I use AirBnB again though.
