The unit itself is great. And jj is quick to reply and tried her best to help with all my questions and requests (more on that later).The bed is super comfortable and we had everything we needed to get clean and get rest. To be clear though, it is small. It’s the right amount of space for 2 people.
Warning to those that don’t plan on renting a car: you can’t enter the unit from the front of the house. you need to pick up a set of keys from a lockbox in front of the house then walk back down around the block, through a locked gate back around a dirt alley to the back of her house to get into the unit. There will be homeless people camped at that gate. It will smell like piss. You also HAVE to lock the gate behind you which means an Uber can’t drop you off at the entrance to the unit. Walking down that dark dirt alley at night was pretty spooky. Not something I expected out of an Airbnb ***plus*** unit.
I commend JJ - she accommodated us when she could by offering us to go out through the front of the house but only when she was home. It makes sense as a homeowner but defeats the purpose of having a private entrance. I’d highly recommend she figure out another self-serve entry point to the Airbnb unit that doesn’t involve the back alley. Honestly that made our otherwise comfortable stay pretty uncomfortable.
I wouldn’t have normally complained about this but this listing was marked as an Airbnb **Plus** so I had somewhat high expectations for this “premium offering”.
