The place was clean and private. The owner was responsive. However the place is pretty sparsely furnished in a way that adds up to feeling not super comfortable:
-Kitchen is under-equipped.
-Living room seating pretty uncomfortable.
-Two bedrooms have no clothes storage
- Lighting is intense.
- Floors are uneven.
- Almost no backyard furniture - could be such a nice place to hang out!
- Next to alley with some noise at night.
All in all, this added up to a feeling of not being especially comfortable. I’ve stayed in airbnbs a third the price that were more thoughtfully set up.
The good news is that most of this stuff is pretty fixable if the owner invests a little time and money. I hope she does!
