Overall, I enjoyed my stay (hence the high star rating)! The biggest pros of this Airbnb were: location (in a fantastically accessible and extremely safe area), spacious, adequate AC, and sharp kitchen knives. Additionally, the host accommodated my request to replace and compensate me for a new pan during my stay.
Some feedback/things I wish I would have known ahead of time:
- The wifi was not adequate or reliable. It was challenging for me to remote work in this unit.
- The kitchen does not have the basics (salt, pepper, oil). More importantly, most of the pots and pans have damaged nonstick coating (well proven to be cancerous). Don’t expect to do much cooking.
- There seems to be a consistent stream of work at the house which is not well communicated to visitors. This also made it difficult to work remotely in the Airbnb.
- The bathroom is very small. The shower is cramped and there is no bathroom counter space. It also smells musty, likely because there is no fan and the bathroom stays humid for hours after a quick shower.
- The laundry is in the basement and shared with the other building tenants.
- The unit is on the first floor (a safety consideration, and lots of noise comes from the upstairs neighbors).
- The Roku TV should be on guest mode.
