Pros:
Location - 5 minute drive to downtown Montclair shopping district. 8 minute to Rockridge shopping district.
Quiet, peaceful and safe neighborhood.
Easy to find and utilize street parking. (The property is located on a narrow winding street, so be be sure to park tightly against the designated fence area. Parking instructions are nicely detailed on the house manual.)
Very clearly delineated instructions on how to find the property, where to park and how to access the property.
Spacious. This property has a huge common area for an AirBnB. The bedrooms are larger than average as well.
Very comfortable mattresses.
Cons:
Very steep staircase to access the property. This could prove problematic for elderly guests, guests with physical disabilities or in our case, guests with lots of luggage.
No real kitchen or sink aside from bathroom sink. There is a food area with a mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker, toaster and electric kettle.
The use of the central heating is discouraged for green reasons, and the space heaters, the alternative heat source recommended by the owner, could not be located. We probably should have asked the owner about the location of the heaters, but we neglected to do so.
