The photos of this place are gorgeous but be warned- this unit is in very poor condition and it was surprising to walk into.
It was difficult getting ahold of the host before and during our trip. The communication was inconsistent. When we arrived the check-in instructions were minimal and we had trouble retrieving the key. We called the host three times and left a voicemail. They never even reached back out. We eventually figured it out on our own.
The listing when we booked it clearly stated each bedroom had a queen bed - this is not true. 2 of the bedrooms had double beds and one of them had a twin and a double. This was the most surprising thing, because the host had specifically told me the nicest room was the one with the balcony and come to find out, it was the strangest room due to the twin bed setup.
The drywall is quite literally falling apart in some rooms. Huge gashes in it, deteriorating woodwork, doorknobs falling off doors and doors that don’t latch shut, the shower curtain in our bathroom was moldy, the beds were like sleeping on a wood plank, there was an ant infestation in the kitchen, and expired food on the shelves. We thought the oatmeal and things left there was meant for guest use but when we checked the dates it was all expired. We also went and bought bath towels because none were set out, come to realize there was a stack in a closet but they were very old and tattered.
The smart tv in the living room also did not work with the wifi. And the AC never seemed to actually turn on / didn’t circulate well throughout the house if it was.
I try not to be difficult or fussy but this was definitely the most shocking airbnb experience I’ve had, where you think you’re getting one thing and you get another.
If you are looking for somewhere to just crash and don’t need it to be comfortable, I guess this would be okay. At least it’s well located on a beautiful and safe street. Just know what you’re walking into - a very old and dated narrow three story townhome that needs a lot of renovating.
