well, airbnb boasts that the review has been overwhelmingly described as sparkling clean + they're not being deceptive. nothing was out of place or suspicious on the cleanliness front. the best cleaning job means you barely think about how clean it is, so we were very happy, especially when compared to many other (otherwise good!) airbnbs that we have been to in the past.
the kitchen was such a treat, including a gas stove + stocked with dishes, etc. there is a mini fridge in which we stored fruit and leftovers during our stay.
they leave out a little bowl of those hershey's chocolates for those that are into that, which was just a nice touch.
yes, it will feel smaller than the photos just because photos can't properly express the size of the space, but it's basically a comfortable studio in an apartment-like strip of other similar studios. the bed is a comfortable size (for both of us being under 6') and is incredibly soft and comfortable. the access to streaming services was kind of nice when we wanted to wind down in bed. if you're travelling with someone from whom you need privacy, you won't be able to obtain that unless one of you leaves the airbnb.
the bathroom is quite small but we didn't ask for or expect anything else! you can touch the shower with your feet from the toilet, in case that helps describe the size. there is a waterfall-style shower head but it was positioned below our heights (mid 5'-6') when we went in.
there is no air conditioning, just multiple fans provided, which was more than enough for us. we happened to go in a season where it was quite cool outside, so closing the windows kept it nice and warm within or if we wanted to cool off opening them helped. the upright fan provided can mitigate any warmth in this season (ex. october).
the lock and self check-in are also incredibly straightforward/easy. we didn't have to interact with the host at all in person or even in conversation over app/phone, which is just nice because we're introverts and don't prefer to heavily socialise on our vacations.
we would love to go back + thank the hosts for their hospitality and preparation.
