TLDR: There are few Airbnb’s I’ve stayed at that I wouldn’t go to again. This was one of them. Definitely not the worst, but far from the best.
It is as advertised, so look closely. It’s “no frills”.Not even a nightstand. The TV is in the common area, not in your room.
What’s not advertised is the water damage on ceiling in bathroom, stains on tub, shower door doesn’t close properly, you’re “greeted” by a camera and a pile of other people’s shoes when you walk inside (as shoes are not allowed in the house), you cannot control the heat/AC (all control panels are locked), the exterior of the house looks like it could use some repairs. I don’t remember if this was advertised or not but there’s also a double nightly charge for late checkout, which seems pretty steep/unreasonable even for a few minutes over time (wasn’t an issue for us but definitely made the stay feel less inviting).
If all you’re looking for is a cheap-ish (still comes to $175 a night) bed/bathroom and not much more, then this is for you. Personally, I’m wishing I shelled out a bit more money for a better stay somewhere else.
It also rubbed me the wrong way getting a message from Ela asking for a 5 star review in exchange for the same. Really, how accurate are those other “5 star reviews”.
To be fair, the pros: easy check in, good communication, low price, clean enough, location is subjective as to how “good” it is but no problem for us.
