Pros:
- Area, we really enjoyed the Mission District and what it had to offer. Things in walking distance, close bus stops and near Glen Park Subway station.
- Communication, instructions were clear all via Airbnb messaging, did not meet in person or have to reach out often as instructions again, were clear.
- Check in, entry and exit was easily accessible and easily understood with pin-pads and room keys.
- Value, a cheap Airbnb in the area. Offered body wash, 2 in 1 shampoo/conditioner, instant coffee and a couple of towels.
Cons:
- Smell, upon entering the first day the room and common areas had such a STRONG chemical cleaner smell. It was so unbearable that we had gone and bought a candle as the first thing to help eliminate this for the room we stayed in.
- Temperature, it does get very very cold. The room had a small space heater which helped a ton, however it seems like no other heating option is offered throughout the home and therefore you are pretty much shivering if it is not on or in the common areas.
- Washroom, screen door was very difficult to slide, was jammed so we had to squeeze in between the glass shower door to get in. The bathroom mat is also somehow slippery and stays completely soaking wet for a long time.
- Lighting, room has a very bright fluorescent light which is distracting for winding down with a book before bed. Lamps would really be helpful.
