I’ll start off with the good … our hosts were communicative and kind and told us they wanted us to have a 5 star experience. They also warn in their listing about the location and I knew it wasn’t going to be the best area. The place was also pretty clean.
The main perk that actually made this place worth staying at was that it was a 5 minute walk to the green line that took you straight into central downtown on a 15 minute ride.
The two biggest issues we found were that the mattress and pillows in the bed were extremely lumpy and uncomfortable, and the thermostat was locked. The shower curtain and some of the tile was covered in pink mold as well.
The combination of the bed and thermostat was the main reason we checked out two days early, because we couldn’t sleep without waking up covered in sweat or waking up to the sound of the whole bed creaking when we barely shifted.
I have nothing against the owners of this Airbnb and they were very kind during the entire process, but I would never stay here again. At least in a holiday inn I can sleep in cool air with an average mattress.
