The good:
- Really comfy bed
- Mostly peaceful location
- Near a co-op
- Nice and cool in the heat
- Fast Wifi
- Inexpensive
- Dedicated parking
- Reasonably well equipped kitchen
The not so good:
- The shower mixer is broken so it's always boiling hot and you have to really twist it to get it lukewarm
- I had to clean the fridge-freezer when I got there
- After three weeks there the boiler started breaking every day or so and needed to be reset
- Very old, dated appliances - fridge was never cold enough and the washing machine flooded the kitchen twice
- No welcome pack or information on how to use things in the house
- No bedside lights
- There's an old blender in one of the kitchen cupboards than hasn't been cleaned and is covered with crusted on brown protein shake
- Mould in the bathroom (at the base of the shower screen)
- The outdoor space is not at all like in the photos, it's now completely overgrown with a family of foxes living in the corner.
- Some recycling boxes missing, such as brown box -- we asked the host when we moved in but the response wasn't helpful so we had to improvise.
Overall, this property is cheap but I wouldn't say it's value for money because some of the basics just don't work. It seems to be being run by a third-party organisation and I've found that Airbnbs run in this way are generally of a lower standard because there's no personal touch. It's by no means awful, but it's not really of an Airbnb standard and isn't equipped for people staying long term.
