A lot of my review comes from the premium price paid for this place, which in hindsight was probably our fault for booking close to last minute. For the price, I expected a lot more.
Pros:
- Location is amazing
- Host is excellent at communicating and was able to fix wifi problems when they arose. He was also able to accommodate requests
Cons:
- There are many, and I have to say a lot of these come from the price paid
- The place was clearly not cleaned, there were brown stains on the sheets, floors were grimey, there were cobwebs and dust bunnies everywhere. He did not offer to have another cleaner come, and we still paid a cleaning fee even though it wasn't cleaned for us. I tried contacting Airbnb and learned that they are little help in these situations.
- Little natural light, it's like living in a cave
- Not ideal for a couple, not many places to sit beside the bed.
- Not ideal for remote work
- For a couple staying for a month, not a lot of places to keep things. There was a bunch of stuff in the studio that was not in the pictures.
- Photos are out of date and much brighter than in person
- Missing check in instructions about a key pad to enter one of the doors
- Absurdly overpriced. I would expect a place of this quality to be 1/3 to 1/2 the price
Fourth is a very nice and helpful person, but overall this was one of the worst Airbnb experiences I've had and I like to think I'm usually not too bothered by the issues like these in the Airbnb. The location is amazing, but when I booked this place was only available to book for people staying over a month, and this is not a good place for that. Maybe okay for a weekend, but I highly recommend looking elsewhere if you're staying long term.
