I booked Gregory’s place for a month and checked in before the “social distancing” and the current situation became a situation. I was met and checked in by one of the neighbors, which went smoothly. The studio has everything you will need for longer stays: kitchen, dining/work area, bed, sectional, washer and dryer, parking, and a TV. There is storage and a closet to hang your things. This isn’t a complaint, however, the place is not like places I’m used to booking on AirBnB, but I’m very opened minded and can always make the best of my experiences.
My first impression and solutions (please note that this was my experience, it may not be yours):
1. No toilet paper and paper towel: I bought my own
2. No bathroom mats: I bought my own
3. No clean towels: I always bring towels
4. No body wash, hand, or dish soap: I bought my own
5. Old building, so noises and voices travel including strange loud plumbing sounds at random times (you hear everything through the walls): as I spent a lot of time indoors doing work and then ultimately social distancing, I used noise cancelling headphones.
6. Neighbors on the other side of the wall like having get togethers: I embraced this because I was missing my family.
I’m mentioning these things for those of us who expect more from the places we book. It definitely wasn’t like any other AirBnB experience I’ve ever had, but when I needed a place Gregory’s place was available and it ultimately became the place that sheltered me through the beginning of the pandemic. It did have what I needed. So I’m grateful, nonetheless. Thank you Gregory and Ethel.
