This was my first airbnb experience, and it was good.
The room was clean and comfortable, and while it may be considered too small for some other people, it was advertised as a small room and was big enough for me. I think the other rooms in the house are bigger.
The bathroom was also clean. There are some black marks around the bathtub and I think some other guests/reviewers see this as "dirty", but it's really just something that comes with the age of the house, I think.
The neighbourhood looks a little unsafe at first glance, but Dennis assured me that it was safe and true enough, I had no problems with neighbours throughout the 3 days I stayed. In fact, by the third night, I could feel that the place did have some charm to it and I was sorry I couldn't see more of it.
The place is fairly close to metro stations: about a 10-15 min walk away.
Dennis himself was delightful. Very responsive to messages and questions, and very friendly.
In short, this is a great place. I was reading through some of the other reviews and I think this place gets marked down by people who expect hotel service in a posh neighborhood. This is not a hotel, and it is not posh. You're not paying a hotel price either. As long as guests are willing to check their privilege at the door, I'm sure they will find their stay much more than sufficient.
