This is a very old-school Airbnb. The host definitely lives there and you are staying in someone's home. The trash isn't empty and there is an overall lived in feel. That could be good or bad depending on your taste. Communication was EXCELLENT and the view is as good as advertised. The stairs seem worse in the notes than they are in real life. A couple sets, no big deal. The place is not expensive so it's a good value.
