I rented this home for 3 months during a travel nursing assignment.
Pros: The house is in a great location a few blocks from the metro, restaurants and bars, all in walking distance. The street is pretty quiet and a few blocks off the Main Street. Any maintenance problems where taken care of in a day or two. The beds are comfortable, both bedrooms and living room had nice flat screen TVs with Firesticks. Multiple locks on all doors, felt safe in the house by myself. Clean on arrival.
Cons: There were multiple times there was miscommunication between myself and the landlord. We spoke over the Airbnb messaging application which was helpful because Airbnb had to be involved at a point during my stay related to communication issues. As a long term renter I tried to meet with her in person multiple times to help solve the communication issues, it never happened.
DO NOT bring a car, I was told I would be given a parking pass so I could park on the street in front of the house. I ended up with multiple parking violation tickets because I was given the wrong parking permit or I received it late. Airbnb refunding me money for the tickets because I had to fight or pay them all of them on my own. My car was broken into once while parked on the street, I don’t keep anything in my car so the only thing taken was a few bucks.
Make sure you and the landlord are clear on how many people are staying with you. I was accused multiple times of having an extra roommate even though I did not, which was annoyance. The house is older and could use some upgrades, but everything functioned well.
Overall my stay went well it was close to my hospital for work, I was comfortable, felt safe and was close to a lot of fun things to do. The communication issues and parking tickets were a big annoyance as a long term renter.
