I needed a place on short notice and this room was available. Jeannie was kind enough to let me stay with her. She's a friendly and responsive person by the way
.The house is in a residential area. The immediate area is super clean, quiet, and pretty. It's also close to the beach. Had the weather been nicer, I might have paid a visit.
I happened to be visiting during a period of renovation. When I arrived, there was a slight confusion as to which room I was staying in and I need help accessing the house and my room. The room I had stayed in did not have access to the central heating/ac. Thankfully, the weather was cool and there was a fan available. The carpets in the guest area were comfortable but looked like bleach may have been accidentally dropped in some spots. My room had a ladder (which was promptly removed) and initially no towel (which I got when Jeannie removed the ladder). There were no curtains or blinds on my window but I didn't particularly mind since it was a short stay and I wasn't around during the stay.
On the plus side, the house looked like a genuine family home. That was charming. The room has a tv and cable. There's a kitchen. I'm assuming you can use it lightly.
The main avenue is a 10-15 minute walk away. There are a few convenience stores, fast food joints, and a supermarket on the avenue. It's a pretty convenient area.
My advice is to remember that Airbnb's are rooms available in people's homes. I'm sure outside of the renovation period, the house is a fantastic stay.
