Good vs Bad of our stay
Good:
- Convenient parking behind the Airbnb (2 spots too!)
- Fresh flowers by the front door that smelled great
- Complimentary beverages in the fridge
- Really nice smelling body wash
- Comfy beds, nicely decorated space, lovely furniture
- Master bedroom + bathroom (very lovely)
- Spacious
- WiFi - fast & reliable (both of them)
- The host! She was very nice, and answered any questions we had. Rules were very clearly laid out, and she was very considerate of how late we needed to arrive on night 1. She kept a good communication going through texts. Very polite too.
Neutral:
- The whole place was slanted which was weird but kind of cool? (Nothing bad came of it so I’d land somewhere around cool and unusual)
- There were shampoos and conditioners but some of them were empty and they all seemed to come from various hotels.
- The hairdryer was found in the master bathroom, so we didn’t find it until the third night, which meant I went a whole day with wet hair because it wasn’t with the other toiletries. Kind of consider this one bad placement, but ultimately my bad.
Bad:
- #1 reason for a 4 star rating instead of 5 Stars was the lack of toilet paper. We stayed with 6 people for 3 nights, and we ran out of toilet paper before the third night ended. We searched every bathroom and closet and consolidated everything we had in one bathroom. The men in our group did without, and we rationed HARD, but we still ran out.
- Privacy. A lot of the windows/doors were made of glass and didn’t have curtains/blinds. The ones that particularly bothered me were the kitchen door, the upstairs bathroom, and the front bedroom. The front bedroom had 1 shear curtain and 1 giant window with nothing. The front door also had no curtains/blinds, but that didn’t bother me as much (despite the fact that we kept awkwardly making eye contact with people parking out front).
- Bugs. As far as I know, 5 bugs were spotted during our 3 night stay. 2 spiders and 2 centipedes were squashed, and a fly got away. Both the spiders were found in upstairs bedrooms (one on the bed itself), and one of the centipedes was on the ceiling in a bedroom while the other in the hallway. The fly was in the bathroom. All upstairs. I am attributing this to the front bedroom where the floor has a gap by the wall with exposed concrete.
- Mildly dirty. It was clear that the place was cleaned, but not as clean as I’d like. There are some towels that had stains, and there were some hairs in bathrooms before we started using them. My biggest complaint of the cleanliness front was the windowsill in the upstairs bathroom, because there aren’t many spaces to use to put clothing or toiletries. It would have been nice to use that space but it wasn’t clean. The bedrooms were very clean though, and so was the kitchen.
Overall, this was a great place to stay, but I’d probably pick somewhere else next time, so 4 stars from me. Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t stay here though! I’d still recommend it.
