We enjoyed our stay at Bailey’s house in the Bywater. The location is in a great neighborhood with access to bars and restaurants. Bailey was responsive and kind enough to accommodate our late check out request so we could enjoy the entirety of our stay. We loved the patio, free snacks, and cozy vibe and found the Airbnb comfortable with a few notes —
The house is located on a main road and, as noted in the description, can be loud due to traffic. We were OK with this since we were out and about for the majority of our stay.
If you are staying here in chillier months, note that the heating unit and thermostat are in different bedrooms. Due to the house’s “shotgun shack” layout, if you close the door between the bedrooms for privacy, the thermostat cannot detect an accurate reading and will continue to pump heating into the first bedroom while the other remains cold. We figured this out on our first night (in January) and left the bedroom door open for the remainder of our stay.
Finally, the house is located across a freight train track, so you may get stuck on St. Claude Ave for quite a while if the trains are crossing!
