Overall we had a good stay at Sam and Britt’s. They were pretty responsive throughout our trip, answering questions and even allowing us to push our check out time, which was extremely kind and generous of them.
There are some things about the apt that can’t be helped but would be good for future guests to know just so they can manage their expectations.
Right outside of the window of the main bedroom (the one with the TV) there are compressors for the AC units. Whenever those went on, which was about every 20 minutes, they would make a really startling and LOUD sound that made for zero sleep.
The kitchen was well appointed but because coffee and coffee maker were among the amenities listed in the description — and there’s a photo of a Keurig machine with pods — we assumed there would be coffee pods, but there were none. TOTALLY minor and not at all a complaint, just mentioning it so that perhaps the word "coffee" could be removed from the list of amenities. There's an awesome coffeeshop around the block that future guests should check out! It's called General Irving.
The garden/patio could admittedly use a little more TLC. We dusted and wiped down the chairs and table so we could feel comfortable. We are not neat freaks, just expected a more welcoming space to hang out since it's touted as one of the features of this apt. The succulents looked a little neglected, too. If you don't plan on hanging out in the outdoor area, this is really a non-issue.
I wouldn’t describe the bathtub as generally slippery but it does get a skosh slippery near the soap dispensers. Just a heads up.
Love the level of safety at this Airbnb. Three doors with deadbolts, and an alarm system!
Great location. Close to the L and other neighborhoods. Friendly neighbors!
