I stayed for two nights. It’s clear that Mark put a lot of thought into this Airbnb and had generated many positive reviews, so I’m disappointed to leave a mediocre review, but here is my attempt to be balanced. I should start by saying that the place is very clean and in a quiet and charming residential neighborhood. The room itself is large and the common areas are nicely appointed even if no one uses them much.
The less good, slightly annoying things include a bathtub that is too deep and short to sit in comfortably, a desk and chair that are too small and non-functional to use for extended periods, a lack of hangers for clothes, and a slightly confusing process to check in (another guest who arrived at the same time and I were huddled together at 10pm both trying to figure out how to get the app to work).
The worst thing is that the neighbor upstairs makes a lot of noise (lots of stomping around, running the washing machine at 3:30am) throughout the night. The house must be old and not well soundproofed because you hear every step and it prevented me from getting any sleep. While this isn’t necessarily Mark’s fault, light sleepers should be aware and plan accordingly.
