Overall, I would not recommend this Airbnb. Here are the pros and cons:
Pros:
- Easy parking
- Responsiveness in communication
- Quiet street
- Flexibility - allowed for an early check-in and late checkout
Cons:
- Not clean. When they said it was cleaned that day, I failed to see what exactly was cleaned. The extra blanket provided was so dirty that I had to ask for a new one. Thankfully they were fast to respond and cleaned it that day.
- Being slightly below ground level, it was always damp and cold inside (like many reviews note). It rained a lot during our stay, so water puddled at the door, and therefore couldn't help but bring dirty water in the house even with taking shoes off at the door. There is literally a washcloth provided as a door mat inside, so that didn't help.
- Inaccurate and/or unusable amenities listed: no dryer as listed (when asked about this, they said it's referring to the hair dryer, which was already listed separately and of course when listing a dryer, no one means a hair dryer), 1 of 2 bikes was unusable, listed an oven when there wasn't one. If they are passing off the toaster as an oven (no rack to use for the toaster so couldn't even use it), that is also misleading since toaster is another amenity they could have listed instead. Lists they have the 'basics' for the kitchen, but no salt or pepper provided (part of Airbnb 'basics.'). Also says there's a gym but we didn't see that at all.
- Spotty Wifi
- Main door extremely hard to open and close
