Overall a good stay, but some things can be improved. Here are the pros and cons:
Pros:
1. Seyda was very responsive when messaging
2. Seyda lives there so she met us. She was very warm and super nice and accommodating.
3. Things were neat and tidy.
4. There was a washer which we used a lot. (But we had to ask for the detergent as it wasn’t there. )
5. Seyda actually stayed right next door - i was a little wary of that at first - but nice because if you have an issue you can just go next door and ask. We had a few questions so it was nice we could ask her right away.
6. The stove wasn’t working. We had to ask Seyda and she said she forgot to fill the gas tank. She was nice enough to bring us a little table-top stove.
Cons:
1. i had requested a crib when i booked the place. And i again sent her a message in advance about having a crib and meeting us there and she responded no worries i’ll meet you there. Not sure if she meant to ignore the crib question. When we got there she asked me if i needed the crib - so that was a little disappointing. She then asked my husband to help her carry it from somewhere downstairs to the bedroom and helped her set it up. I wish it was already set up. Another air bnb we stayed at had the crib all ready set up when we arrived so this was a little annoying.
2. There is no dryer - the clothes we washed we had to dry on a clothes line. It was a little annoying not knowing that ahead of time because it takes a while for the clothes to dry.
3. Although the place was neat, the place is visibly older and there were a few cleanliness issues: the shower had a lot of mold and mildew, the sofa cover had lots of visible stains, and the cups in the kitchen might not have all been clean as the one we picked up had lipstick stains. That made me wonder how “clean” everything else was really.
4. When we got there we were told there was hot water but that was finicky. It would get hot then cold, then hot, then cold and stay cold. One time my dad told me he had a nice hot shower the whole way through but that was not my experience.
5. The walls are paper thin, so you can hear all your neighbors which is annoying at night.
6. There is no microwave.
