I was surprised by my negative experience due to the nice reviews. The space was not clean. The decor is different from the photos and many of the pictured furnishings are not present. It’s pretty sparse, not even a bath mat in the bathroom. The bed is positioned under a window and every Monday morning at 8 am, a leaf blower would be directly outside. The host did not let me know prior to arrival that I’d be sharing the space with two people and their dog. The dog did not get along with cats, so I had to keep my cat inside my bedroom at all times.
Accessibility is challenging. You have to park on the street, walk up a steep driveway, and then walk up a few flights of stairs to get to the house.
FYI toilet paper, garbage bags, paper towel, and other household items are not provided. Laundry is at the side of the house and laundry supplies are available but I was once bitten and scratched by the host’s untethered dog as I tried to put my sheets into the washer. From then on, I had to check with the host before I did any laundry to make sure his dog wasn’t around.
The host seemed apathetic, almost as if he didn’t want to be a host. He was not quick to respond to messages. He did not express concern when his dog bit me. I ended up contacting Airbnb and leaving a week early.
