I stayed with Joanne for just under two weeks. Communication was great throughout the stay, and the apartment is very conveniently located next to bus stops and a great neighborhood. The natural view is wonderful from the large bedroom, the cat is cute and the internet is fast and reliable. The bed is also very comfortable and it's quiet at night.
There is, however, room for improvement. The basic requirement for an Airbnb with a shared kitchen is that it is clean and tidy. After checking in while Joanne was out of twon for a few days, I entered the kitchen to unwashed items on the counter and a used rying pan on the hob, a splattered microwave, grimey and sticky guest shelves (which I cleaned), and I found the chopping board amongst the recycling. When Joanne came back, the kitchen seemed in a constant state of untidyness, with things never quite put away and scattered. I also had to go out and buy soap for the bathroom, which should be an essential.
So, the place has a lot of potential, and ideal if you don't need the kitchen. Joanne is a wonderful and accomodating host and I hope this balanced review serves as an incentive to make a great location, bedroom and host have an equally as great shared kitchen space.
