The location was convenient to other parts of the city via car (within 5-15 mins drive of everything). But the area was also a bit run down... someone defecated next to our car where we parked on the street. Metered parking was available on the street near and around the building with some time restrictions, and although our car was safe, I would not have wanted to walk to the dwelling alone at night. The area does not feel very safe, despite being well lit. What was confusing was that there was an entire parking lot behind the building with easy access to the Airbnb building, and I don’t quite understand why we weren’t allowed to park there, which really would have made us feel safer.
Overall, the unit was a fine studio with nice appliances: fridge/freezer with ice tray; dishwasher and dish tabs, stocked kitchen with coffee, creamer, sugar, olive oil, salt, pepper, mugs, cups, plates, bowls, cutting board, paper towels, dish soap, dishwasher tabs, a new sponge, decent / clean cookware and flatware; a washer/dryer with detergent pods; and a well stocked restroom with extra towels, liquid hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and lotion. The couch was really comfortable and could be used for an additional guest if needed.
I will also note that having a passcode protected front door to the building and the individual unit was very convenient (ie not having to deal with keys). Please note though that you should wait for the door to auto lock after a couple of minutes before leaving the unit and you should manually lock it from the inside when you get back.. although it also auto locks when you return within a few minutes.
This might just be normal for Airbnb, I’m not sure, but they were able to grant us an early check in (2 hrs early) but wouldn’t tell me if they could do a late checkout until the day before. This was a bit troublesome since I had to sort out where to stay last minute during the day while I waited for my flight. Again, this might be normal for Airbnb, but I’ve always been able to get a late checkout if needed in the past with a bit more notice with Airbnb.
