This will be a very mixed review. Mel/Henry was very helpful and accommodating. Everything we needed was there and in some ways it was comfortable. There were some cute details and artsy flair to the style of the place. However, it needs some work. There were some cleanliness issues. For example, the freezer drawers had detritus. There is also a landing above the door alcove that's filthy and easily visible on the stairs. Speaking of the stairs, usually spiral staircases are very charming, but these were very very rickety and not well anchored. I accidentally pinched my skin between the wall and the bar on the stairs because they moved so much. The blinds also kept falling down when we tried to put them up or down.
There is a place to sit outside upstairs, but it's not very nice. Most of the fixtures and finishes were very low end. The problems were not because the place was old, they were because it was cheap. We've stayed in a lot of Airbnb's and this would be a solid C. You can skip this one.
