PROS:
-easy check-in (lockbox)
-5 bedrooms & 3 full bathrooms
-large kitchen with lots of counter space
-located right off of melrose, walking distance to a lot of food spots
-5 minute drive from the grove
-hosts were very responsive when we needed them & did not disturb otherwise
CONS:
-only one set of keys provided (unfortunate for large groups, esp if ppl have different agendas)
-some bedrooms only came with twin beds
-not all bedrooms have locks on them
-bathrooms had grout in the showers and dirt in the corners and on baseboards
-only one 25"(ish) TV in the entire home, located in the living room
-security camera AND ring at the entrance (likely records video and audio) made us uncomfortable like we were being watched
-neighbors super nosey and also have security cams which face the airbnb house
-driveway only fits one car (other cars must find street parking)
What made me feel especially uneasy was the message the hosts sent prior to our reservation which states they may call the police if there are extra guests in the house or other rules are broken. Any threat to call the police does not make me feel welcomed in a home and although the hosts did not bother us or call the police, I felt very on edge during my entire stay.
Overall, we enjoyed the space and mostly used it for sleeping and refreshing in between outings.
