I enjoyed my stay generally very much. I agree with the previous review that there is definitely a level of secrecy to the renting out through airbnb. The host makes a point to mention that I should not mention to snooping neighbors about our arrangement with Airbnb. Probably Airbnb-renting is not allowed in this property.
The location marked on Airbnb is not correct, probably due to the previously mentioned subletting-question and the fact that it is right next to the highway, with the window facing that way, so bring earplugs!
Apartment has a smell of some in-California legal substance which might not be legal elsewhere, it is not legal where I come from but I had no issue at airport with dogs etc. In the room itself however there was no smell, it smelled delightfully of some scent sprayed in there.
Pros:
- beautiful room perfectly like the pictures with a nice private bathroom.
- kind host
- as a tall man I appreciated that the bed was quite long.
Cons:
- next to highway, bring earplugs
- complicated and very late check in instructions
- the actual position is not even within the area marked by airbnb.
- door to room does not lock from outside, only inside. You can I.e not lock in your things when you leave the apartment, other than locking the apartment, which is of course shared.
