Pros:
- Location is about a 5min drive away from downtown which was great.
-Host replies pretty quickly if you have any questions, comments, or concerns.
-Space was nicely decorated and neat.
-The air conditioning in the airbnb was perfect. It was nice being able to have the option of turning it off while we were gone or cold during our stay there.
-Very spacious place and comfortable day bed and king bed in the bedroom.
Cons:
-Finding the back driveway was a little difficult, the instructions left were very clear but the airbnb photo of the front of the house that we were not suppose to enter confused us a bit and felt misleading since there was no photo of the actual door we were suppose to check in at.
-By no means is this the hosts fault of course since it is a shared alleyway but the alleyway leading up to the back driveway was in severe disrepair, if you have a 4 wheel drive then you should be fine but be very cautious for people with smaller vehicles, really thought I was going to pop a tire.
-Since this place is in a basement, there has been a couple incidents of finding spiders in the airbnb. We killed them of course but the next day it seems another one would randomly pop up again.
-There is no sound barrier in this place so if you don't care about people clearly hearing your conversations or what you're doing then it shouldn't be an issue for you. I was made aware the host was not there for the week we were here which was great since we didn't have to worry about the noise for the most part but what I can only assume a neighbor checking on the house the first day we checked in above us was making a lot noise. Which made us a little worried to talk and confused/concerned because the owner was not home which made us a little paranoid on who was here.
-The door used to enter the airbnb is mostly glass with no blinds or curtain so if you like privacy this might be an issue since the houses in the neighborhood are fairly close to each other which makes it easy to see inside.
-When it stormed one night we had a pipe leaking from the ceiling about the fireplace. During the end of the trip the air conditioning unit in the bedroom was starting to leak as well.
-The soap for the bathroom was pretty much empty when we arrived and was not refilled.
