Josie’s place is listed incorrectly as an “Entire Home”. By definition from Airbnb, this requires a private entrance. To be clear, this is not an Entire Place but rather a “Private Room” in a shared home. You will share the entrance with the owners who live on the 1st and 2nd floor, and have to go through the inside of their home to get to third floor (shared staircase).
I would encourage Josie to correct the details of her listing.
We are a couple so as you can imagine this was a shock for us when we realized we would be seeing the owners everyday. Also for those that are covid conscious , this can be a huge dealbreaker given that you need to interact with the host in-person .
No kitchen access.
That being said, Josie and her husband are kind people and try to be respectful to your privacy on the third floor of their home.
