I realize that it is rare for anyone to give an honest review to Airbnb (Consumer Reports in June 2017 stated that the average review was 4.7 out of a top score of 5) but while there were some positives to this rental, I had some personal safety concerns.
The positives were a well-equipped kitchen making meal prep very doable and the location was good for me. Coffee and condiments were provided and appreciated. Check in was easy and host was responsive.
I did however have the following concerns:
•	Only three of the six windows had window coverings. The bathroom curtain was sheer and provided little privacy.
•	Only one window had a screen; no AC so open windows were needed.
•	Rental could benefit from a deeper cleaning. Ants in bathroom and kitchen.
•	Vintage range and heater had strong pilot light odor.
•	Carpet tack strip at bathroom poked through.
•	Electrical wiring for the microwave was amateurishly
spliced with exposed wires and no external sheathing.
- I thought due to age and wear of the rental, it was a bit overpriced.
•	I didn’t share these concerns with host during the rental period since I didn’t think these issues could be addressed during my stay.
