Lots of good stuff in this AirBnB, but some things need help/fixing.
The neighbors were great, as the host said they would be.
The location is amazing!
Quiet street, quiet neighbors, very close to shopping and restaurants.
Very walkable.
It was great having a garage.
And we loved staying in a home over a hotel for a long visit.
It was a great rental for our long term stay. If some little things were taken care of it would have been perfect. For example:
Because we were there so long we brought in our own housekeeper in once a week, who used to take care of our home when we used to live in the area. We know her well and trusted her around our things. She did a lot of work to clean things that had not been cleaned in a long time. In other words she cleaned the home like a residence, and not like a rental. As a result, we got the place to a better point of cleanliness than the way we found it. I think the host's cleaners need to do a deeper clean.
There was some odd beeping noise that went off each morning, we could not find out what it was coming from. That was irritating but did not wake us up.
The cabinet door below the sink fell off in the kitchen one day, luckily we had tools in our car and screwed it back on.
The bike tires did not hold air for more than a minute, in one of the two bikes, so we rented bikes instead.
The trash cans were really dirty outside and inside. Would be nice if they were hosed down, so long term guests that take the trash out don't have to touch the filthy handles on the cans.
The bedding was stained on one bed, looked like an ink stain. It was not wet or dirty, just would be nice to have a cover with no stain.
The WiFi was occasionally spotty.
The TP holder was coming off the wall in the master bathroom.
The water hose leaks water badly, which made it hard to water the plants (which long term guests are required to do, and I actually enjoyed).
There was a leak under the kitchen sink one day, but we mopped up the water and all was OK.
The toilets ran occasionally.
These are all little things, not a big deal individually. But if more attention was paid to the details, the place would be a 10. We enjoyed our time there, and would go back because overall it was a good experience, with a responsive host, in a place that has a location that is hard to beat. We'd just like to see all the little things fixed/rectified, because it really is the details that make a place stand out, or not.
