Noise! Noise! Noise! Noise!
I should have read the previous reviews more closely! My fault.
The floor joists & subfloor needs to be repaired & thick carpet should be installed on the floor area to aid soundproofing above the AirBNB space. Although there were a few times when it was quiet or low enough sound level, many more times it was impossible to work, write, zoom conference because the noise from above was thunderous, rumbling, & overwhelming. I couldn't be heard on zoom. This impeded alot of what I had intended to work on. On a number of occasions I just retreated to public spaces where, ironically, it was quieter.
The first few days there was also noise from what sounded like construction going on above as well.
To be fair I think the hosts couldn't have spent any time in that space and made the minimizing description of the noise level as "...there is noise from the children 6am-7pm...we've provided a white noise machine."
No white noise machine has been invented that could obscure this booming, invasive noise. It's not the children's fault.
There was, daily incredibly loud noise coming from adult(s) wearing hard soled shoes--bounding back & forth, seemingly incessantly; well after 9pm many nights. So, just when I'd be falling asleep,10 or 11pm, BAAM! Some adult would ratchet up the noise with hard soled, heavy, loud footsteps, back and forth over the area above that space.
1. Replacing clean linens/towels: a more guest friendly system is needed for providing clean linens/towels for multi week stays. I had to ask at the end of the 1st week because there were no extra linens/towels in the unit. I ended up laundering them myself, for expediency, the host kindly made their washing machine/dryer available. Subsequent weeks, the hosts again didn't provide clean linens/towels and didn't ask me about my need for it, so for the remaining 3 weeks, I just took them out to launder. It just seemed easier, albeit not convenient.
The devil is in the details:
The bathroom needs towel rack(s); impossible to get the towels aired and dried out after showers.
I had to buy a kitchen sponge to wash dishes.
I had to buy toilet paper as only a couple of rolls were provided for a 4 week stay.
Security: The 1 wooden entry door had a twist button lock on a shaky door knob; the secondary deadbolt lock was impossible to use. The top half of the entry door had glass panes without a wire overlay. Glass can easily be broken and door knob lock opened to gain entry. Particularly vulnerable with the entry door located down steps and under backyard deck. No one would see the break-in; not a secure setup. There were motion activated lights along the path to that entrance; good security.
And, there was a light bulb outside the door area which stayed lit. That was also a measure of security.
The flip side is, that light shines into the space thru the door window. Despite sliding doors to the bedroom, the light seeped thru around the edges. So if you need dark space for sleep, not good.
