THIS IS NOT AN ENTIRE HOUSE - IT IS A PRIVATE ROOM. There is a door to the rest of the house in the room that you cannot lock. But you can hear everything happening on the very occupied other side of that door, and vice versa. I tried to mask the sound of their dog running around, but the TV gets no reception and the "smart" apps arent logged in. I had to run the thankfully loud bathroom fan as white noise to have minimal sound privacy.
YOU CANNOT CONTROL THE AIR CONDITIONING. My girlfriend and I woke at 2am covered in sweat when we realized there wasnt a thermostat in the room. Only MiMi can adjust the AC! I texted her, but got no response - I would have banged on the door, but that seemed like a bad idea in the middle of the night in that neighborhood. By the time we started to fall sleep again around 6am, the sun started coming up and the uncovered transom window filled the room with daylight. We barely slept and it ruined our next day's plans.
I love Airbnb and have stayed in some great homes. This was a nice little studio with a gorgeous yard, but it was still a Private Room with the emphasis on Room, not Private. We were booked for 2 nights but left ASAP in the morning and found a hotel where we could actually sleep. I've filed a complaint and am seeking a refund; this experience was extremely disappointing.
Update: MiMi refunded the 2nd nights stay cost as requested, which I appreciate. I still believe this listing should be labeled a "Private Room", as it is basically a master suite with an exterior entrance.
