Pros –
-	Alex was very response to make sure all my needs were met
-	Pretty good location
-	Building amenities (gym, front desk, etc) we’re nice
Cons –
-	The booking process post AirBnB is a nightmare. You have to provide your licenses and then a picture of yourself holding the licenses. Not only is this painful for busy, on the move, people like myself, its also a huge security and privacy issue.
-	The apartment was noisy as it sits on the first floor corner and lots of trucks and cars going through the alley made for an restless night of sleep
-	The lighting was not ideal. They setup the house to align the wall switches with laps that are plugged into the outlines. They weren’t in synch and it was frustrating to turn on/off lights
Overall, in the world where everything is getting hacked and compromised, the idea of sending your licenses, and your face next to the license, means I’ll never stay at this place again. I don’t believe Abode is well equipped to handle security of personal information well enough to handle such sensitive and important information. Example: Abode said to just email my licenses, my face and licenses to them, unencrypted, with no form of deletion afterwards. Tie in the fact that I had to do many extra steps after booking with AirBnB was just as annoying.
I share this information as factual and my personal view points. Certainly nothing wrong with Alex, the apartment (outside of my comments above), or their service but I will never rent from them again and hope all that do understand the steps and security/privacy you’ll encounter.
