PROS:
- Host was friendly
- The location is in a safe neighborhood, and has access to many late night food spots
- Shared large common area
- Decorations were some of the best I’ve seen in an Airbnb. There’s always something cool to look at. If Keith Haring was a millennial obsessed with lamps, you’d get this interior.
CONS:
- One of the rooms had a whiteboard with some COVID vaccine ramblings. (“Covid-19 Vaccine”, isotopes, formulas, etc. Perhaps odd or insensitive in a pandemic but not too bad.)
- I intended to use the dresser but drawers were already filled. One of the drawers had a ziplock bag of dog hair, a ceramic paw print, and a box with IN LOVING MEMORY OF DAISY 2010 on top. I opened it and found ashes. It’s possible it was left by another guest, but if the rental was thoroughly cleaned as promised it would not be there. If it belonged to the Airbnb owner—my heart breaks for them—but it’s not something that was disclosed or something I would expect to find in a rental.
I put off this review for awhile because I know it's just two really weird things, but as a solo female traveler, it kind of made me think twice about my stay? Perhaps not the property for me!
