I stayed at Meghan’s airbnb from January to May. I would recommend her place for shorter stays and during the spring summer. I say this because the furniture is not comfortable for such a long stay, and during the winter you have no control over when the heat is turned on. Also, there are things that can be very frustrating when living there so long, as listed below.
POSITIVE
-Location is pretty good to the city and places to eat
-Clean
-Spacious
-Stocked with all living, maintenance and kitchen supplies
-Welcome information book
-Storage space
NEGATIVE
-My privacy was compromised: Meghan never came to the unit herself, it was always her parents. One time her father came in using spare keys unannounced to drop something off while I was not home. He also walked around the unit for a few minutes before leaving (seen on my nest security camera).
-Although there is always parking on the street, many times you will need to park far away from the building
-The bed is on wheels and always moves away from the wall when you get on it. Also has loose fitting bedsheets over the mattress that constantly slips off
-The shower head shoots streams in crazy directions, which causes it to leak out onto the floor of the bathroom
-Airbnb listing said I would get 2 sets of keys. But upon moving in, found out there was only 1 set and I was not allowed to have another. And if you lose the keys, you will be charged hundreds of dollars to re-key the entire building. Yes, the entire building! (Bc included in the keys is a key to the building security door)
-There is no thermostat. Heating is not controlled by the tenant, but automatically turned off and on by the building. Therefore, I was cold alot of the time or sweating and could do nothing about it. Meghan provided a space heater, but it could only be used in one room at a time
