Great location, close to everything. Neighborhood may seem sketchy at night but is actually very quiet and peaceful. The space is very spacious with an updated kitchen and a nice little courtyard for sitting outside.
Issues:
- WiFi is spotty
- the sheer curtains made us uncomfortable, especially at night with the ability to look in
- the master bed’s frame is broken underneath in the middle, so the bed sunk in the middle
- the shower curtain was too short, so water got everywhere
- the door in the kitchen isn’t secure and I observed it being moved by a dog and saw someone jiggling the handle (a child, as the other side is a screened-in playroom of sorts?) The barking at the door echoed throughout the space and made my dog very nervous as he could see the dog trying to get in
- the children running and playing can be heard through the ceiling, loudly, from 7am-10pm basically. The owner has addressed this as disclosing that children live upstairs, but it is very loud. The description was edited, after I made my non-refundable reservation, that there is a potential for noise for this stay. Had I known it was going to be THAT loud, we would’ve stayed elsewhere. So if you are sensitive to noise and plan on sleeping in, perhaps other accommodations would be suitable.
Suggestions:
- WiFi booster or amplifier
- curtains for the nighttime
- a longer shower curtain
- placing something between the flimsy door and access to the kitchen. Perhaps another door that can be locked from inside the kitchen, or a large armoire that would block the door entirely with some soundproofing.
- chair bottom caps or pads for the unit above so it won’t be so loud in the unit below
- soundproofing the ceiling of the Airbnb
