This was only my second time using AirBnB. I am your typical working college student who is still living at home with family. Although I love living with them, I've had an increasing desire to be on my own. In addition, sometimes I just need to have some solitude to study, think and plan for the future. Right now I can't afford to completely move out and sustain myself, so I began considering booking somewhere to get away for a short period of time for some refreshment. I can say without a doubt that I was fully refreshed and got the clarity of mind that I needed during my stay.
My stay duration was two weeks, which is probably slightly longer than the average guest. Therefore, I was really trying to find a clean, quiet and simple place at a reasonable price. One of the things that helped me make my decision was the price. I thought that it was fair, considering the length of my stay.
One of my favorite parts of the stay was the sense of privacy and easy access that I had to the room. I am the type of person who likes to feel like they can come and go with ease and without disturbing anyone. Fortunately, the private entrance allowed me to experience that. The entrance to the room is pretty much hidden from the main street which I really liked. That being said, the street/neighborhood itself was very quiet the entire time that I was there. This was a big plus. The room is not next to a busy road with cars, so it was nice just to enjoy the silence sometimes.
There is a Food 4 Less grocery store nearby which is literally about a 4-5 minute walk. It was very convenient having it nearby. In addition, there are other typical fast food places and even a park within reach if you want to get some fresh air. One issue that guests might have trouble with is the street parking. Since there is no need for people to move their cars for street sweeping, the street parking was full most of the time. In my case, I was working from noon to evening time and since I didn't want to worry about not being able to find a parking space, I would often ride the bus to and from work. This is not to say that there were no places available to park; taking the bus was sort of my choice.
All in all, Roni was a very gracious host. She would always respond to questions promptly and she even checked in on me to ask if I needed anything. I really appreciated that. I would recommend the room for single travelers or students like myself. I think the size is just right for one person. Thank you!
