Pros: the apartment has a spacious kitchen/living area, is well-equipped, and is kept clean.
Cons: 1) the host Vardui expressed a true lack of empathy that is very disconcerting. As a courtesy, I told her we were in town for a funeral service and that 8 family members in addition to the 3 staying in the apartment would be in and out of the apartment during the day of the service. I wrote, "We'll make sure to keep it quiet and that no one blocks any driveways with vehicles." Vardui responded with a series of questions about how long people would be there, what time they would be there (in the middle of a business day), and how long they would stay. Vardui then responded, "Usually we do not allow more than 2 guests at any time. However, since you indicate that you will make sure there is no loud noise, we will allow it this time. But please make sure they all leave before 8 pm." The only rules posted are "1. No smoking inside; 2. Quiet time is 10PM; and 3. No parties." The Airbnb states that it can sleep up to 5 guests. A total of 11 people for a couple hours (well before 10 pm) to coordinate a funeral service does not constitute a party.
2) The apartment is not ADA-compliant. It is located at the top of a very steep driveway, and there are deep steps to enter both bedrooms, the bathroom, and the laundry room. Two out of our three guests have knee issues, and falling was a constant concern. This is not indicated anywhere on the listing.
3) Although the listing states that 5 guests can sleep in the apartment, if you were to pull out the futon located in one of the bedrooms, it would block the only exit from the apartment, causing a fire hazard.
