Basically a glorified hostel. You get a private space tucked a bit away from the main house, but the main house is basically filled with hostelers, and this space really makes it feel like exactly that. Not especially well-kept: everything felt old and not particularly clean. Dingy, basically. Little scuffs and dirt marks on walls and in corners throughout, spiderwebs as well, and the linens were mostly older and had holes here and there. The garden is not in good shape, very overgrown, full of weeds and some trash bags. Other renters were loud and smoking onsite, and tried to open my room door in the middle of the night—not fun to wake up to. Check-in details are for some reason withheld until the day you arrive. Super inconvenient for those in the midst of travel with no guarantee of cell signal. No lights so arriving at night and figuring out the key (lots of key holders, no clue which held mine so had to try them all) and such were difficult in the dark. Parking is misrepresented: there is NO parking on the property though it was promised in the listing, only street parking and it’s an extreeeemely steep street.
The space’s size was good, and the kitchen seemed full but it didn’t feel clean enough for me to feel confident using it. There were two dead spiders in the sink when I arrived. The main house is all renters, apparently several rooms. So very, very hostel-like. As a business traveler, I expected a better space. I feel like I could have had a pretty similar hostel experience for about half the money. Location was convenient, but I would not return considering the above issues. As a host myself, this did not meet my standards. I usually love my airbnb experiences but this one was sub-par. It could be such a great space, but needs to be so much more well-loved.
