Good location but would not recommend
We stayed at this shot-gun Air BnB on our cross-country move from Texas to Georgia. Not worth the $692 we paid for 3 nights. We decided to stay at the Air BnB because it was dog friendly and had a back yard. From the pictures online, the Air BnB looked tidy and well kept. However, we soon learned that the images were misleading.
Parking and security:
When we first arrived at the Air BnB, it wasn't easy to find parking. We were hauling a trailer, so we wanted to park close to the front door so that we could keep an eye out. We were able to find parking the next day, as people had left the bars the night before. Being in a neighborhood with many tourists and bars, we would have expected there to have been additional locks on the doors. There was only a key-less lock on what appeared to be an original wood door (very flimsy at the bottom). There was also a single knob-lock on the back door, and the side gate did looked like it was partially left open.
Furniture and shifting tiles:
When we walked into the Air BnB, the living room was beautifully decorated. We first sat on an orange couch and were instantly met by the floor - the sofa was missing the springboard.
The bedroom was excellent, and the bed was comfy. There would have been more extension cords to charge phones since the outlets are far from the bed. The bathroom was the part of the house that we had the most issues with. When we stepped from the kitchen to the bathroom, we noticed the floor tiles had moved. We could also hear and feel the tile below our feet as we moved into the bathroom. We didn’t feel safe using the restroom. The shower was also unsafe and unsanitary - it had black floors, and the doors to the bathroom and shower were difficult to close. It felt like the foundation underneath the shower was on a slope or moving. No hand towels were provided. Lastly, there were two air ducts hanging partially from the ceiling - one in the kitchen and the other in the bathroom.
Backyard:
Another disappointing part of this Air BnB was the back yard. From the pictures, it looks well maintained. However, it is not. Besides the initial inspection, we didn’t feel safe letting our dogs go onto the patio because of the overgrowth and junk that is on the side of the yard.
Super host:
Past Air BnBs, especially those that are Super-hosts, have details that elevate the space. For example, soaps, hand towels, and water in the fridge. The soaps that were available looked like they had been left by previous guests and were stuffed under a disgusting bathroom sink that was dirty with trash.
Overall, we would not recommend staying at the Air BnB unless the owner updates the locks and possibly both doors, fixes the shifting tiles in the kitchen and bathroom, cleans or replaces the shower, clears out the junk from the backyard, and cuts the weeds.
