I don’t think we are the typical clientele for this particular Airbnb location, so please take this review with a grain of salt. We are a family of five who were on a Grand Canyon trip. Right before we were supposed to fly home all three of our children came down with Covid. In accordance with the CDC guidelines, we postponed our flight and looked for a place where we could isolate.
Under the circumstances we were grateful to find this place, but we never would have stayed here normally. The house is older and I would call it “adequate” rather than “cozy” because it could benefit from a lot of TLC. Many of the houses in this neighborhood, including this one, have bars on the windows. Several of the blinds are broken and can’t be adjusted using the cord. There are no blackout curtains. The carpets are old and matted. Blinds, window sills, and range hood are dusty. Some of the outlets are so worn that items we plugged in would not necessarily stay plugged in. The one time I used the oven I found out that the gas range didn’t fire up when the oven was in use. The backyard is just dirt. I notified Abe that when we used the dryer it made a horrible screeching sound. The neighborhood wasn’t exactly quiet. We regularly heard car alarms, police sirens, and motorcycles during the night and early morning hours. One evening the neighbors two doors down threw an extremely loud backyard party with music, a DJ, air horns, and strobing lights that ended around 3:00 a.m. Abe was unable to help and the police never showed up.
I do have to say that throughout our stay the communication with our hosts was stellar - very responsive and quick. The bottom line is that this place served our purposes under the circumstances but was not comfortable enough for us to want to return.
