Unfortunately, we were quite disappointed by the quality of this stay, especially because of the high amount ($368 per night) we were paying.
But first, the pros: very fast wifi, a good shower, and incredibly fast and responsive communication with the host. The kitchen was also fairly well stocked, and the heating/AC worked well. Also, the pool probably would have been nice to use, but unfortunately it was too cold while we were there.
And now, the cons:
- The AirBnb was not clean. Upon checking in, we had to clean the floors ourselves because there were large clumps of dust/hair in every room. Additionally, we had to request that the host drop off the vacuum because the sofa bed had dirt and even a chip on it when we pulled it out to sleep on it. There were also empty bottles of liquor and beer in the kitchen cabinets.
- The AirBnb was very disorganized. We had to message the host to ask where the sheets were for the sofa bed, because sheets and blankets were haphazardly thrown into the closets (some even in large trash bags), and it was impossible to tell what was clean and what was dirty.
- The master bed was saggy and incredibly loud. Every time someone moved on it, you could hear it in the other rooms. It was just not comfortable to sleep on.
- Likewise, the twin bed nearly collapsed the first time we sat on it. The frame didn't appear to be properly assembled, and one of the legs just slid out from under us.
- When we checked in, there was not nearly enough toilet paper or hand soap for 4 people for 1 week. We had to request extra from the host. Unfortunately we never received the hand soap, and ran out after a few days.
- Lastly, while this did not affect our stay in a significant way, a recommendation for the host is to put some love into the overall appearance of the house. There is no art in the apartment (except for two croquet mallets randomly hung up above the master bed) and the walls are painted a dark gray color with random black streaks (burn marks?) in some places. For a house that doesn't get a lot of natural light, repainting the walls a lighter color would really brighten up the space.
