Let me start by saying I’ve stayed in hundreds of airbnbs, and this is the first critical review I’ve written.
First the good:
Great location.
Safe location.
Great Internet speed.
Decently equipped.
Now the critical:
-Parking: I only book places with dedicated parking, it’s just a thing that’s important to me. This place had dedicated parking…. That was not enforced and not fixed when reported to be in violation. I understand the owner can’t control strangers, but dedicated parking is an amenity I paid for and did not receive on this trip and it directly effected plans I had on more than one occasion.
-cleanliness: decently clean but ONE thing. Long, black, woman’s hair… literally everywhere. Floors, kitchen, sinks, baths. We’re two men, so definitely wasn’t ours! We were picking hairs off everything the entire trip.
- smoke alarm missing: there was a spot for it…. Just no smoke alarm. Not safe.
- toiletries: I’ve heard of two-ply, one-ply toilet paper… never seen half ply. It costs very little to upgrade from that sand paper to a decent roll. Same with paper towels… they disappeared with water like a sheet of gelatin. Not sure where you can even buy stuff this cheap!
- safety: front door does NOT have a dead bolt! Very serious. You can only lock the handle, which looks like it cost 12 bucks. You could easily kick in this door. Doors need dead bolts for primary entry!
Overall, A decent stay only because the location and city. The unit itself needs work to be worth the price they’re asking. There are better deals around!
