Overall our stay here was a let down.
When we first arrived we immediately noted that the area was not the most secure. The check in process was easy, and given the area the alarm system was appreciated.
When stepping in we immediately noticed that the Airbnb did not at all look like the pictures.
The host had messaged us a few days before arrival that the previous guest had broken the pull out couch but that it was still able to be sat on. Someone in our group is a loud snorer, so we were hoping for the pull out so we could all get some good rest. After looking at the reviews, it looks like the pull out is always broken. It would’ve been nice to know this sooner so we could’ve looked for other accommodations. Also, we couldn’t sit on it because we just sank.
The beds themselves were decently comfy. Also, in order for the house to properly heat on those cold nights, you’ll need to crack doors open, otherwise all the heat just stays in the kitchen. I would keep that in mind if privacy between rooms is needed, because it is a shotgun style home.
On one particular cold night, we went to grab extra blankets out of the ottoman, and this had to be the worst part of our stay: they were dirty and smelled terrible when we opened the ottoman they were sitting in. It was cold due to the draft from the front door, and getting late. We didn’t want to wait for the host to fix this, so we just washed them ourselves with detergent we bought.
It is close to the train line, which is nice. But definitely don’t suggest walking alone in this area late at night .
We shared this feedback with the host after our stay, but she just implied we only needed two beds for the 4 of us, and asked why we needed the couch. She did apologize for the assumption, but it wasn’t very hospitable of her. Unfortunately we weren’t able to get any resolution on our concerns and felt the price was not at all justified for the quality of this Airbnb/our stay.
If we knew then what we know now, we would’ve booked elsewhere.
