pros first--
-great location, beautiful views, safe building
-friendly host
-great price
-bed was fairly comfortable
-clean-ish
(kitchen cabinets and common areas such were greasy/clearly not thoroughly wiped down, which is interesting as we had late check-in for "enhanced cleaning")
-close to the Roosevelt train station, very convenient and cheap travel around town
-laundry!
-Trader Joe's + Target walking distance
cons--
--this shared space (2br/2ba, common entry and kitchen/living space) is with STRANGERS from Airbnb, not the host. we are a quiet couple and got paired up with some louder, younger folks who weren' very respectful. we weren't told about this arrangement until the day of check-in which felt very deceptive. we did complain and the host spoke to the folks and the subsequent night was better, but awkward
--the check-in is late to begin with and the host arrived late by at least 15 min.
--not the cleanest but not the worst Airbnb I have been to
--no coffee maker
I would not return d/t it being a gamble with who may be there with you.
