The inside of the AirBnB was nice. The bed was really comfortable; however the sofa bed could have been better. Because it was a two piece, I felt self-conscious that the sofa would move apart while sleeping. Other than that, sleeping accommodation was great.
Bathroom had everything that we needed. I appreciated that toothbrushes were provided even though we did not use them. I thought it was a sweet gesture of the hosts to provide them.
Kitchen was great, minus the really dull knives. If you plan to actually use and cook in the kitchen during your stay, I recommend buying/bringing your own knives. The knives were so dull that you have to put extra pressure into cutting vegetables/meat and be careful of them slipping and cutting yourself.
As everyone mentioned, parking on the street was not clear since there are multiple signs everywhere that you cannot park on the street. The streets are super narrow (almost one way only if there are other cars parked on the street). The hosts asked for us to park on the street first before using the driveway but there was never a clear instruction about the “no parking” warning signs. To not risked getting towed or ticketed, we ended up parking every night in the drive way, following the host’s detailed description. If we go out during the day and come back, we would park on the street in front of the house. Thankfully there wasn’t any issue during the day.
Construction were ongoing during our stay on the bottom level of the AirBnB. We had to ask for them to stop drilling the first day when we got there since it was really loud. Afterwards, we would get messages from that host of when construction may be happening. This didn’t really affect our stay since we were out most of the time and the hosts were respectful when we were present.
Things we did not expect:
- the Airbnb is a guesthouse on the second floor behind the main house and you will need to walk one flight of stairs.
- parking situation (see comment above)
- location (mainly because we have never been in the area before and did not know the area) but the neighborhood was more worn down than what we expected.
