On the positive side, the place was compact and charming. The dressing room/closet was a great place to put suitcases out of the way and a shelf for toiletries. The bathroom was also nice and provided shampoo, conditioner and lotion. The linens were top notch.
Communication was great. We had a few glitches with check-in and an overlooked cleaning situation but the property manager was quick to respond and willing to send someone out right away.
The security was good and the place was quiet; being detached from another structure is always nice.
The heating/cooling mini split was wonderful. We were able to keep the place to a comfortable temperature.
For a $160 cleaning fee, which was what we paid for a night’s a stay, I would expect the place to be immaculate - especially for such a small studio space. It was not very clean; and there were few maintenance things were lacking as well.
Things to note: bring your own coffee if you want to use the coffee-maker, coffee is not provided. If you want to do laundry, bring laundry soap. There was also no dish soap so when instructed to do the dishes before leaving, we had to use the bar soap from the bathroom.
In reading other reviews it seems the blind was an issue concerning privacy because it was in such bad shape- the good news is, it looks like it has been replaced!
The location is great - (close to two markets, a few blocks away) if you need to walk to get things you might need. Also, we enjoyed walking to Moe’s Coffee in the mornings which is about a mile away. We didn’t have a car so it was nice to be in such a walkable neighborhood.
When visiting an Airbnb, sleeping is one of the most important things. Neither the bed or the couch were comfortable at all. The bed (a daybed) has a bent middle support-beam and so the mattress has a huge swale. This could be ok if only one person is sleeping in the bed, but with two, you both roll into the middle. The bed also squeaked and felt rickety every time either of us shifted positions.
Also note, Wi-Fi is really, really weak. When doing a speed test, it was 4mbps… very slow, too slow to watch TV. The next morning we had no internet so we rebooted the Wi-Fi extender. After rebooting the extension, it made it to 6mbps and we could watch tv.
I would not stay here again due to the uncomfortable sleeping, terrible WiFi, and most expensive cleaning fee I have ever paid for an AirBnb (with a not-that-clean tiny place!). If these three things were upgraded/changed, I would absolutely book this place again.
