Woodside is a lovely neighborhood. This Airbnb is more than double the price of subletting a room somewhere else. This is mainly due to cleaning fees. The pots and pans need updating and the television does not work (shuts on and off while watching every time).
The rules are wild. No men, $10 fee per night for a female guest who has to be pre-approved, and the guest isn’t allowed to shower. Because there is a cleaning person, there is no personal responsibility with cleaning the bathroom or taking out trash.
You must advocate for yourself when living here. I had a food package stolen and was reimbursed after showing photo evidence and time stamps from the delivery company. While there is a fast response time, there are lots of automated messages and middle men who have to check with the actual host to clarify things.
There is daily construction on the house next door and you can hear the subway from the bedroom. This is out of the host’s control, but should be noted when considering the high price.
