Be careful with this host’s listing descriptions, they are deliberately deceptive:
• The private bath is in fact located off public hallway, and it’s door is a sliding pocket door with a latch lock, which is impossible to securely lock.
• There is a monitor in the living room recording every move of the guests.
• There is an senior grandma home all by herself, she has medical conditions. So as a guest, you have to consider the risks of all aspect!
• Most of all, there is none stop freeway noise. To shut the window? There is no AC, so the host only apologized by saying, it’s listed as no AC. She does not address the noise issue!
• If you can’t climb stairs, this room will require about 20’ climb from where you park.
• Speaking about parking, it’s street parking only. But this is a dense community, so if you come after 7pm, good luck with finding a spot. It took us over 20 minutes to find one that was 10 minutes walk away. Then start the stair climb.
As for the host’s warmth: we try texted her and called her for questions, she did not reply for 2 and half hours, until we complained to Airbnb staff, the host suddenly replied, by asking “what happened”
I never write negative review about my trip before, but this time, I wish I was more informed before choosing.
It’s regrettable the host may still take pride in her deft choice of words to attract so many trusting Airbnb users.
