Overall a nice stay! However:
- note that it is an apartment complex so you will be around other people. The walls are a little thin so you’ll often hear other people if they happen to be arguing (we heard a couple next door for a while)
- it is near a school so there is atypically a lot of noise on the weekday mornings, but nothing a closed window can’t fix!
- on Fridays the city performs a street sweep from 8am to 10am. It’s pretty inconvenient having to wake up that early when you want to sleep in, but it’s not the host’s fault. After calling around and making sure it was ok, I was luckily able to park away at the Auto Club (AAA) parking lot, as they don’t open until about 9am. It was just down the street so it wasn’t a huge walk.
- the listing states there’s a lockbox for the key, but we didn’t have a lockbox. When that happens it gives me a lot of anxiety walking into an Air BnB because now I feel I have to scan the entire place to make sure there isn’t anything suspicious, but that’s more of a personal issue. I would have preferred a more secure key transfer. Otherwise no issue with the key
- Matt is very kind when answering any questions and from my experience, responded promptly. He’s a very good host!
Overall a good experience, just some smaller details should be ironed out to make sure everyone is well informed and prepared for the location!
