This was my first shared Airbnb experience and overall I loved it
PROS
The room itself is super cute and cozy, to me it felt like a lil hotel room.
The house is generally quiet from my experience
The host allowed me to check out a lil later and it was greatly appreciated
There’s ample parking
Bed is super comfy
Everything was super clean
It’s a safe neighborhood, I’m traveling across the country and everything in my car was safe
CONS
It was hot the entire time I was there, not deathly hot but definitely not cool and I can’t sleep well at all in heat so I woke up often. There was a fan in the room but it just wasn’t enough.
It’s super far from downtown, it’s basically the outskirts. If you’re visiting for the first time like I was it’s probably not the best choice at all. Lyfts we’re from $20-60 and it just felt like a hour and 20 train ride anywhere was too much.
There’s a washer and dryer but there’s so many people in the house it’s hard to be able to use it.
I did get woken up out my sleep by super loud talking guests at one point, someone’s alarm (they refused to wake up for some time clearly lol) and upstairs banging. It wasn’t anything crazy but just keep in mind it’s not sound proof and it can happen.
