Let me start by saying that the host, Alan, was incredibly kind and prompt in getting back to me on every single matter. I'm grateful for that. He seems genuinely like a good man. But...
I cannot recommend staying in his place. I booked a four-night stay and left after the first night due to his place being moldy, falling apart, and unlike the photos featured in his listing. I would have NEVER booked a stay in his space if his photos showed what I experienced:
There was mold and peeling paint in the shower/tub. There was black mold in much of the grout in the kitchen. There was a huge chunk of paint/wallpaper peeling off the paint in the bedroom. There were other people's clothes/towels in the washer/dryer and other people's shoes on the table where the TV was kept. The towel rack in the bathroom is falling off the wall. The blinds in the bathroom are broken and missing slates.
The backyard is up against a massive parking garage which, I learned the hard way, gets cleaned on Tuesday mornings at 5am. That last part wasn't the host's responsibility but it sure would have been nice to know that before booking.
When I brought this to the owner's attention, he was kind and thanked me for "bringing these minor issues" to his attention. Unfortunately, I don't consider them to be minor issues. I consider them to be misrepresenting his space.
I switched to a Marriot nearby for $170/night with a sparkling clean room with a king-sized bed and central heating/air. I'm glad I did. It was cheaper (by a lot) than the owners offered space.
I've written exactly one bad review in a decade on AirBnb. This is my second. I cannot recommend this space. In fact, I worked with the AirBnB team to secure a full refund. I sincerely hope that the owner takes new photos, fixes the issues with mold, paint, and other people's belonging, and correctly prices and represents his spaces.
Until then, get a room at the Marriot, people.
