I wish I was given all the facts about this Airbnb so I could have made an informed decision on whether I wanted to stay here or not. So I decided to put together a pros and cons list that lays it all out there so you can make your own decision!
Pro:
-Location: Incredible location (You can walk to almost anywhere you want to go as you are centrally located but if you can’t you are super close to the Park Street train stop). You are also above a bar and there are a couple of great restaurants also on the street.
-Air conditioner: There’s an in unit air conditioner that is located in the bedroom and pointed at the beds which does a decent job cooling you off while you sleep. It also worked as noise cancellation as I didn’t hear anything while I was sleeping. (They do ask you to unplug it while you use any other large electronic like a straightener, hairdryer, or iron and it did tend to get hot fast while it was turned off)
-Shower: The shower is hot if you wait 15 minutes for it to warm up and the water pressure is so so
-Space: The space is exactly what it looks like on the photos and feels as clean as you would expect for the price.
Cons:
-BED: I can sleep in almost any bed soft, hard, in between, memory phone, wire, HOWEVER this bed was HORRIBLE. There were literal craters throughout the bed that you would have to sleep in and it wrecked my back. Which is not ideal after long days of walking around.
-Windows: The bed is right by the windows which shines a light right in your eyes early in the morning as there are no curtains. This was not ideal for a vacation.
-Safety: The area feels safe even late at night. There are also three passcodes to get into the building which makes it feel very secure. However there isn’t a deadlock or any kind of lock for you to lock your own room. This is concerning for both safety and theft as I am not sure how often the passcodes are changed.
All in all the space itself has great bones and is a great place to stay especially for the price. Edmund has great communication and accommodated us by allowing us to store our luggage in our room starting at noon. However even though the price is unbeatable if I had known all the cons before staying here I probably would have chosen to pay a little more money to have a place with a decent bed, curtains, and a lock on the door.
All this being said those are three very easy and quick fixes and if Edmund adjusts them based on this review I would have no issue staying here again!
