We had a disappointing experience. Here are the issues we encountered:
- the upstairs bathroom had no privacy as the window looked out onto the street including buildings across the street. If you are using the shower or toilet, you will feel uncomfortable.
- There is little noise insulation. The downstairs bedroom window doesn’t close fully. Unless you have the fan blasting to drown out the noise, you will hear cars driving on the busy street and planes flying overhead.
- Also, on the day of arrival, we received a message asking us to “be discreet” and that we were friends of the host in case the neighbors asked. This greatly confused us, because prior to arriving the hosts sent a very strict set of rules we had to agree to with harsh fines if they were broken. This was inconsistent with their request to be discreet and state that we were friends instead of AirBnb guests while staying there, as we felt we had to follow rules based solely on the host’s terms, not on standard AirBnb guidelines.
- The listing shows a large comfortable blue couch. However when you arrive, you will see that it is not there. Instead, there is a small, uncomfortable 2-seater that looks more like a futon.
The beds were comfortable. The location was nice.
