I was a Super Host in the US, and this is my eighth country using Airbnb, so I take the review process very seriously.
This was my first shared-space experience on Airbnb, and I have to confess I was very apprehensive. But, I was trying to keep costs down, so I gave it a try. In all honesty, this was essentially like a private stay. I couldn’t have been more pleasantly surprised.
Location: We were able to walk to so many things. Metro access was at the end of the street. This really is such a great, central location to be able to get to everything you want to see.
Space: Don’t let the fact that it’s a basement apartment deter you. Lots of windows still bring in natural light. And it’s soooo quiet here-which is priceless in a big city. The bed was comfortable. The room was warm. The en-suite bathroom (such a huge plus in a shared apartment) had plenty of hot water, & pressure in the shower was perfect. All of the little things that you are never sure about, but that can make a stay frustrating, simply were not an issue. The living/dining room and kitchen were lovely, and we had the space to ourselves. And everything was clean.
Hosts: They were extremely communicative, available, and friendly. And I almost never saw them, which, let’s be honest, is exactly what you want.
I would stay here again, and I recommend that you do as well.
