The photos are accurate. The furniture and fixtures seen in the photos iare exactly what is present in the unit. The street parking is hard to come by, but there is an assigned parking space. The walls are thin and you can hear people in the unit next door. The host is friendly and hospitable at first. The issues with the inoperable oven, towel shortage, and plumbing were immediately addressed and accommodated. The bedroom was roomy and the sofa turned into a full size sleeper.
The place was not clean and definitely not sanitized. There were layers of dirt, long straight black hairs (my son and I have short spiral curled hair) all over the kitchen, dining room, and bathroom floors. The rugs had not been vacuumed and the floor not swept. The bathroom shower curtain had build-up of dead skin cells. A previously used (several times) sponge was set out for use. There were layers of dust, dirt, and grime. There is no way a thorough cleaning after each guest is done. I am disturbed at her claim of compliance with the Airbnb 5-step enhanced cleaning and basic cleaning is not being completed.
This place is gross, not absolutely disgusting. She apparently runs a dirty sponge quickly across the surface, but not a real cleaning. Any sanitation is being completed without the basic cleaning and is not sanitary. The host does not seem to take it seriously or understand cleanliness standards. I had to escalate my complaint through Airbnb to reach a resolution.
In the meantime, I bought things for our personal use (i.e., food storage containers, wine glasses, cooking seasoning, bottled spring water, etc.). The host complained because I left the reusable things clean and put away upon my departure. She accused me of charging her for the items left behind. In reality they were left as a "pay it forward" gesture like other travelers have done before me. This accusation was launched because I demand a refund due to the failure to meet cleanliness standards.
She complained that I had a guest visit me outside on the porch (COVID safe) and accused my guests of showering there because I asked for an additional towel set, as only one washcloth and one towel was provided for each guest.
This was the worst Airbnb experience I have had. Good thing this was not my first experience because it likely have been my last. If your cleanliness standards are low, this might be an ok place for you.
Overall, this unit appeared clean at first glance but was NOT possibly clean to COVID-19 safety standards and the host was a little rude and accusatory when the cleanliness when brought to her attention.
