A few pros and cons about the Airbnb:
Pros:
1. The AirBnb was in a great location! Right in the heart of downtown, no need for a car everything is within walking distance. Next to tons of shopping, restaurants and bars.
2. Very spacious, large bedrooms and bathrooms and was very well decorated.
3. New and fresh unit, seems less than a few years old.
Cons:
1. My main complaint—-There is not a physical lock on the entry door. Once you get in from the keypad with a code there is no deadbolt on the inside of the unit. This was a BIG safety issue for us. There needs to be a lock on the entry door, the exterior keypad is not sufficient.
2. The parking space that is allotted for the unit is for a COMPACT car only. Don’t drive/rent a car slightly larger than compact if you want to fit.
3. The unit is the first in the building. There are people coming in and out of the building until late night and you can hear everyone and their conversations. Also why it is a safety issue not to have a deadbolt/lock.
4. The cleaning list for this property is the most extensive that we have ever come across on any rental. It seems as if they had a bad experience with other renters in the past and now we have to do all the cleanup for the past bad apples. They will send you a whole cleaning/checkout step by step process after you are approved for the rental, along with the extra charges that will incur if you don’t do the entire checklist.
