This was extended stay for about 5 weeks. Mary's home allows convenient access to the city, northern/western suburbs, and airport. The listing is well kept and has homely touches.
We did experience some issues during our stay and things to keep in mind for future guests: 1) host prefers communication via cell phone as opposed to AirBnB, 2)parking on premises is listed, however, we weren't allowed to park on the driveway for about a couple weeks, rather, the parking spot was reserved for host friends/family, 3) street parking immediately in front of the house requires a permit to park and free parking is further down around the corner and not directly on premises (while legally parked, we still had to deal with a neighbor reporting our cars to the police), 4) laundry is not included in the listing, host messaged us indicating we would have access during our stay but informed us later during the stay we would not (this issue was resolved), 5) private living room is listed online but the host regularly accessed laundry/storage which did not afford privacy to the living room; host indicated she would find times to use the laundry when convenient for us in order to ensure our privacy, however, no attempts to contact us were made 6) private bathroom is listed online but was accessed a few times earlier in the stay, 7) some of our belongings we re-arranged into a storage area without us being notified at the time, 8) basement kitchen consists of a fridge and oven/stove top, no microwave is available downstairs.
Overall, we would recommend better communication and understanding/confirmation of expectations/amenities prior to finalizing a trip at this Airbnb. All concerns were conveyed to the host, and hopefully there will be better communication for future guests!
