Nicole and her space were nice enough, but there were several issues that potential guests should be aware of.
First, Nicole functioned like a landlord rather than a host. She was responsive when I reached out to her, but that's it – during my 6-week stay, she never introduced herself, asked if I needed anything (e.g., more toilet paper), brought packages around back, etc. This is odd, and inconsistent with my other experiences. This is Airbnb (take note of the “BNB”), not Craigslist. A certain level of hospitality is expected and is baked into the price a guest pays.
Second, the WiFi was constantly dropping, which affected my ability to work and make calls (given that I had no cell reception in the unit). I had to pester Nicole about getting the issue resolved for days, and when she finally ordered another booster, she just put the box on my porch for me to deal with setting up. It's not my responsibility to get her WiFi working properly, attempting to do so took way too much time, and it never worked because the booster had to be closer to the router, which was inside the main house.
Third, there is substantial noise transfer through the door that connects the two units. It did not disrupt my sleep but created a strong lack of privacy. I felt like Nicole could hear me in my day-to-day goings-on and both professional and personal conversations, which isn’t private.
Fourth, as other guests have commented, the mattress is very uncomfortable. Nicole seems to think this is about the mattress being soft, which is just a matter of personal preference. In my view, that's not the issue. The issue is that the mattress is uneven -- it holds one's body like a hammock, drooping down in the center and taut throughout. It was so uncomfortable that I borrowed a friend's mattress for my stay.
