I had a nice stay at Sean’s place. I’m a remote worker and stayed at this location for two weeks and worked from there as well. The Airbnb has everything you might need for a longer stay, including laundry which was appreciated, and though it’s one room the ceilings are high and the skylights add really wonderful light while the curtains are closed for privacy. Sean lives in the main house and was a welcoming host.
I will note that this is a converted garage and you may occasionally hear people in the alley (sometimes disconcerting if you’re in bed right next to what used to be the garage door.) however, the neighborhood feels extremely safe and there’s a great coffee shop and thrift store right around the corner. The wooden gate to access behind the home, where the Airbnb is, was broken when I arrived so I had to fully lift the entire thing every time I came in or out. It was likely due to the snow right before I arrived but I hope they are able to fix it. There’s a construction project happening on the back side of the main home I wasn’t aware of and was a bit surprised to hear workers outside my front door one day - would have been nice to get a heads up.
Like some other reviewers noted, the furnishings are functional but it seems about time to update some things such as the couch and the stove, to align with the value that this place definitely offers. I’ve stayed in a lot of airbnbs the past half year and while I enjoyed this one, I would really encourage Sean and team to address some of these things so they can continue to be successful.
