This was unfortunately an unpleasant stay for us.
Although at the time of booking "parking on premises" was listed, there is only street parking. We arrived after dark and we were not able to park in front of the house. There was no house manual provided and the host usually responded to my inquiries on the following day. She said that she does not check airbnb messages often and preferred text (something Airbnb advises against). This is strange because I get a text every time I have a message on airbnb, not sure why a host wouldn't. The property itself is rather neglected. Several light bulbs were out in all areas of the apartment and were not replaced. This was a problem, particularly in the entrance area where we needed to see the lock to get into the apartment. Furniture and cabinetry are shabby and generally have seen better days. The place itself was not perfectly clean but was acceptable. The laundry room (which is in the basement and is only accessible from the outside--something that was also not listed at the time I booked) was filthy and cluttered. I also had to wait until the next day to find out where it was since there was no house manual to provide that information. The entrance and the backyard were dirty and full of garbage and were not very inviting. The neighborhood overall is not bad except for the noise. Between the train and the loud upstairs neighbors, which were going at it way after midnight, it was impossible to sleep without earplugs.
These are things I wish I had known before booking and I hope this will help people make an informed decision.
