I had a very mixed experience here.
Pros:
- we wanted to work remotely while also enjoying our trip, so having the high speed internet and enough desks to work off of was what attracted me to this place and didn’t disappoint
- kitchen was fully stocked with utensils and tools
- very good price for the location. Free parking was very convenient.
Cons
- cockroaches, which is normal for the area but was still quite shocking. Also lots of flies that wanted to some of my coffee.
- building is old. The room definitely felt date with popcorn ceilings, bubbling paint in the bathroom, and thin walls where you can hear the hallway. Thankfully noise cannot be heard from the bedroom.
- the building feels like a hotel with half of the amenities. Each room seems to be a short term rental and everyone is a tourist. This is not terrible but the building is large so it never felt calm
- there was a practice fire alarm on the first day that we were not warned by midway realty about. There was also a window washing during our reservation which we were not warned about.
- $3 for extra towels. We stayed for 9 days so not having fresh towels was a bit of a pain
- not a huge con for me but this is the first Airbnb I’ve stayed at where the host did not provide enough shampoo and body wash. Only a sample size was provided. I usually buy these on my first day so it wasn’t a big deal but still inconvenient.
In the end I do think the location and room size is a great steal but given this experience I would have preferred to go to a hotel for peace of mind from cockroaches, daily changed sheets and towels, and noise level.
