I’ve never left a negative review for an Airbnb before, but this was truly the worst experience I have ever had. I would advise anyone looking to stay here to look elsewhere.
Security – The entrance to the unit is through a shared laundry room. What worried us is that the code for the laundry room is the exact same code to access our private Airbnb, meaning anyone will access to laundry also had access to our condo. There are no locks on the inside of the private Airbnb, so anyone could access it at any time. In fact, during our stay, other residents in the building came into the laundry room and pounded on our door. Only housekeeping was supposed to be in that shared laundry room during our stay. From that point forward, we no longer felt safe within our Airbnb.
Noise – This might be a quiet neighborhood, but it is not a quiet household. The upstairs residents are not considerate of noise levels. They arrived in the afternoon and it sounded like a stampede – no exaggeration. The kids were yelling and running up and down the stairs and I assume they were the ones to pound on our private door. At night, they stayed up and made noise loud enough to keep us up until 2 am. Around 6 am the next morning, the kids were awake and their screaming woke us all up. The walls are very thin and you will not get peace and quiet here.
Heating – The first night we stayed, we had no issues with the heat. The second night we all were woken up by how ungodly hot it got in the apartment. I wish I was exaggerating when I say it was in the 80s. The heat was pumping out full-force and there’s no way to adjust it. We ended up opening all of the windows to try and cool off.
Cleanliness – The Airbnb isn’t dirty, but I also wouldn’t say it’s overly clean. The “stovetop” provided for cooking is caked in grease and is absolutely disgusting. There was clothing laying in the driveway during our stay as well. Not to mention, there were sheets and towels that sat in the washer for the full 2 days we were there. I had to fold them all in order to do my own laundry. I just hope our sheets weren’t sitting in the washer for days before being put on our beds. Overall, the place was dusty and some of the furniture, such as the desk chair, was literally falling apart.
Comfort – If you stay here, please know that this is a barebones Airbnb. Neither the futon nor the third bed are comfortable options. If you want a place to sit, you’ll have to use the beds. There aren’t really any thoughtful touches, you get the impression that they did the bare minimum to classify as a condo.
I hate to rate anyone so low, but we genuinely were so upset about our stay we considered leaving and buying a hotel.
