Honest review time.
•Pros
-Location is nearby main tourist attractions
-Amenities (soaps, cleaners, basic toiletry)
•Cons
-You can tell all stains/marking on walls and other crevices were attempted to be hidden, although they are still noticeable. Pretty obvious it’s an old house that has been classified by lister as “Vintage”, but it should be fixed up a bit more. My own house can be considered “Vintage”, and it’s not as functionally bad as this one (bad door hinges, doors not closing properly, power outlets falling out).
-Sewer smell on lower floor. Indication of mold/mildew build up (reviews left by others for same issue that hasn’t been addressed yet)
-Dust throughout (blinds, fans)
-First floor bathroom takes some effort to close the door because the toilet is too far forward. The door has indents in it just to have it close properly while scraping against the toilet.
-Neighboring building has flickering light seen through window during the night. The light made it hard for guests downstairs to sleep during the night.
-Wifi worked at first day check-in for a few hours then after that would intermittently not work and for the following rest of our nights there. (Tried to power reset router and still no luck). Fixed on check-out day from Veena’s response on plugging router directly into power outlet.
-Pictures on listing showed more furnishings than what was actually available (no work desk..)
-Additional check-out rules posted on QR codes throughout the house (Wash towels (optional), wash dishes (optional), take out trash…) Why am I paying a cleaning fee, and I have to clean?
I ended up telling the host some of these issues, and the only response I was given was a sorry and addressed on how to fix the Wifi because the person upstairs lost their Wifi too 🤷‍♂️.
--For the price $$$ of 3 nights, you would expect this place to be mid-tier level. It felt low quality, compared to other Airbnbs I’ve stayed at.
