I had a terrible stay as I had a severe allergic reaction to environment irritants in this unit resulting in allergic conjunctivitis in both of my eyes; I suspected dust mites and pet dander. I had to enlist Airbnb support to help me cancel 2 weeks into my 5-week stay, as the hosts were trying to play down the seriousness of the situation.
This stay was my first time returning to a property, as I had stayed in 2 of the hosts' other units that were very similar in 2019. Overall, it seems like the space is shabbier than it used to be, for example I noticed stained cushions, dirty floors, dusty furniture, bent towel hooks, non-functioning lamps, a cracked closet door, etc. There were also several furnishings shown in the photos that are no longer in the space: most notably bedroom curtains that had been over the window facing the neighboring property's bright security light that is on all night long and a bedroom rug that was under the bed, which is not attached to the headboard shown and easily rolls around with a rug under it.
I also had to contact the hosts for two appliance issues: the oven needed a new knob as the one there was missing temperature marks, and the washing machine wasn't working properly (stopped mid-cycle and wouldn't continue), requiring a half-day visit from a repairperson. The washing machine still was not working predictably afterward and also tripped the circuit breaker for the entire unit, such that I had to go to the circuit breaker box on the building's exterior to reset it after resetting the breakers inside the unit did not work. The hosts did suggest and allow me to use a washer in an adjacent unit.
Overall, I disagree that this unit is a "great value", as there were no provided cleaning products, paper towels, or even extra trash bags to fit the kitchen can. I was provided with dirty used sponges. The only products under the kitchen sink were roach killer and drain opener. The "hand" soap in the bathroom was actually more of the dish soap in the kitchen.
The bed was uncomfortable; it was bouncy and pokey, and as mentioned above the bed frame is not attached to the headboard such that it rolls around. There is also significant street noise all night long that was not sufficiently masked by the provided white noise machine.
The unit seemed to have not been deep cleaned in a long time, resulting in my severe allergic response even after I brought over my expensive HEPA air purifier. I found pet hair stuck to the windows -- attached to adhesive left by the privacy panels added to the glass -- and the couch had a strong fragrance that seemed to be masking other odors. I also noticed the bathroom fan also had a thick layer of dust and the bagless vacuum cleaner bin was completely full of dust, dirt, hair, etc. When I was leaving and went to clean the pre-filter on my air purifier, it had already trapped a significant amount of pet hair.
There was also still ongoing construction noise from the construction site half a block away, which I asked the hosts about before they had confirmed my reservation. They accepted my reservation before I could respond to their reply or cancel my reservation request. I found the noise was too disruptive to work from this space, and I ended up commuting into my SF office daily.
