We started this review day 1 of our stay...never a good sign. To start, this place is not as advertised. I think the host has the impression that "old" and "charming" are synonymous. They're not. Bathroom window is broken making it so poorly ventilated there is mold growing on the ceiling (and worse mold underneath that's been painted over). The toilet rocks when you sit on it, there is no counter space, and very little storage which made unpacking impossible. Bed is old and creaky but not so bad we couldn't sleep. The Apple TV is ANCIENT (probably 1st or 2nd gen) and didn't even work, and when we managed to get it to work for literally 2 mins, it's so old that it doesn't even have any modern apps on it -- not having this as advertised then having to troubleshoot for an hour really put a damper on our first night. Thankfully, Kelly's responsiveness was her saving grace and she dropped off a Roku the next morning for us. I honestly can't even tell you what the cleaning fee went to, the place was not very clean at all, and while we loved being able to bring our pup, you'd think that an $85 cleaning fee would suffice to make the place not smell like dog. She didn't even have a candle (though there was one in the pictures on here) or Febreze so we had to buy room spray, which made a huge difference. Also found someone's shirt in the nightstand drawer, so how thoroughly is this being cleaned?
Unfortunately it seems that Kelly is a "get by on as little as I can to turn a profit" host, and not like the other Airbnb hosts I've experienced. I have stayed in so many Airbnbs, many well appointed with thoughtful touches to make you truly feel cared for, but on a basic level every place I've stayed has had SOMETHING -- all that was provided here besides basic linens etc was literally a hair dryer. And to be fair, she didn't really advertise any amenities, but there weren't even water bottles or a Brita, so we had to buy gallons from the 7-Eleven. And btw, the kitchen is so narrow the fridge doesn't even open all the way, and the fridge itself was so small the gallon jugs hardly fit.
Think bare minimum, and then scale your expectations down even more. I would not recommend anyone book this place, despite it being a very economical choice and a walkable location. Would have rather paid more for the "luxury" of feeling comfortable in my Airbnb.
