This is a tough review for me to write.
I'll start off by saying Owen deserves his Superhost ration 100%. He was super fast to respond to all of my messages, and he was extremely nice. I'd stay at a place he's hosting any time, just...not this place again.
I think for college age kids, or people in their 20's this place is likely fine. But for me, with a teenage kid and wife, it just wasn't really comfortable enough for us. The beds were fine, no issues there. But the common space has what feels like dorm room couches, not really enough end tables, etc. These are NOT big deals: but after staying at other airbnbs in the UK, this one just felt lesser than.
The building itself also felt a bit dodgy-a large apartment complex, lots of trash out in from of people's places...just not stellar. quite a bit of n noise from neighbors, which is one of my pet peeves. We also witnessed a dude trying to break into every car on the street one night, which was interesting. None of this is Owen's fault: but it was our experience.
Bottom line, if you're low maintenance and don't mind the kind of things I'm describing, then this place will be great. If you're older and maybe more uptight and expect certain levels of comfort and cleanliness, I'd recommend you look elsewhere.
I wanna finish this off by once again saying Owen was stellar, and it kind of bums me out to be writing this review, but...this is what they're for, to be honest.
