Booking was relatively easy for this space. Lynn was responsive and answered all of the questions I had with patience. She was also fast.
The good stuff — The apartment is fine. I am usually feeling weird in other people’s places and homes but I felt pretty safe here. It was clean and tidy, 2 wonderful bathrooms, clean and a nice size overall. It’s very lovable and livable. The cost was okay, could be lower but it’s expected. I love the location as a young person. That was the best part. Very walkable and homey. The mattress is good but the bed frame is not. I had to kee pushing it back together because I was nervous it wouldn’t hold up. We didn’t do or touch much in the place out of fear of being charged randomly so I can’t speak on the laundry, dishwasher or anything like that. If you’re looking for a place to simply sleep and safely keep your car, this is great. Very quiet as well. We only heard the neighbors upstairs once or so.
The bad — The check in process is very annoying as others have said. I didn’t like being up-charged for everything and the lack of flexibility was a buzz kill. I didn’t like being asked for personal information like my ID or credit card number either. If you’re not comfortable with that, avoid this place. Me and my friend sat in our car waiting for check in after a very long flight because we couldn’t just go in the space even though it was ready. If we wanted to go in early, we would have had to pay. It would have been nice to avoid that. The way this place does their listing is not standard for Airbnb and it soured my trip a little because like everyone, it goes against what the typical Airbnb experience is like and what we expected. I hated having to do things I wouldn’t normally do with this experience. The anxiety about being charged for touching something was not helpful either.
Good to know — The door can be tricky, be patient with it. Lynn was available for questions for us. AC and fans keep the place very cool. Beds are a great size but be careful if you are not thin or petite. Bedrooms are cozy. Bathroom is wonderful, shower is great. Kitchen is filled with things you may need and utensils. Space is a great size for a family.
