We stayed at this Airbnb for one week during the end of September. It is in a very quiet and calm neighborhood . There was ample parking space at all times and plenty of storage available which is great for long stays.
There were a few issues which came up. The front door was partly glass and slightly see-through. The lock also jiggled and the door didn't always lock on the first try. It was also directly facing the bathroom. If you forgot something before stepping into the bathroom, you needed to get fully dressed to go back and grab it. This especially felt like a concern for women who would want to stay here alone.
There were a few ants in the bathroom the day of check-in. I did not think anything of it initially and cleaned them up. But during my stay here, many more ants appeared everywhere. There was already some used bug spray under the sink to help with this. I think providing more cleaning supplies such as a broom would help keep bugs away. It felt like the place was not professionally cleaned which may explain some of the issues.
The listing advertised a bathtub. But it could not be used as there was not a faucet in the tub, only a rain showerhead. There was a slight smell in the bathroom the whole time, along with some yellowing on the walls by the tub. The bidet worked well and was a nice perk to have.
The kitchen was nice, and decently stocked. I think there were a lot of leftover items left from previous stays as most of the things were expired. For example there was a carton of eggs that was 3 months past due. Otherwise, it was good for some light cooking and was pleasant for a short stay. There were also some empty alcohol bottles under the sink which we threw out that were not ours.
The living room had a sliding door which had blinds covering it, though they did not close that well. There are massive windows up top (by the bedroom) which were completely covered by a set of blinds. These windows brought a tremendous amount of light into the whole unit which I really enjoyed.
The air conditioning downstairs is not working which was already mentioned so that was not an issue. There is a portable unit upstairs which worked great for the stay. However, there is a large tube that must stick out of the window in order to work. This prevents the blinds from closing right by the bed, which felt uncomfortable. We went out and tested it and you could see directly if the lights were on inside. If staying alone, I would not book this location again for this reason. I had to cover that window with a spare sheet we found (which has stains on it already). There was also a fake door next to the bed which said "not a real door, please do not touch" which just felt a little spooky.
Finally, the internet was spotty. It was okay for the most part, but would cut out occasionally or would get rather slow. This was mostly noticeable when working from home, but otherwise it got the job done.
Overall, I would not stay here again due to the safety concerns. For the price and location, I was expecting to feel extremely safe during my stay here, but the safety concerns prevent me from booking this place again. This might be okay for a weekend stay, but did feel a little uncomfortable for the full week. The main light switch was hidden behind a closet door and just has poor construction over all. Tara herself was rather sweet and pleasant but the overall standard here was not what I was not consistent with other Airbnb's I have been in.
