The house itself is gorgeous and decor is kept within the time period. The house care-taker was there when I checked-in, the door was open already, and he nicely guided me to the where the room was located. I also met the friendly owner and he helped discuss things to do in the area, which was greatly appreciated.
Location: It’s located in not the best of neighborhoods, but I never felt unsafe. I had a rental car, and there was plenty of parking in the driveway, even with many other cars from other Airbnb-ers. I walked to breakfast one morning, so there are places in the area. Otherwise, a car (or public transportation) is needed to get around.
Cleanliness: For such a big house, it’s kept pretty clean. No issues there.
Security: The only reason I took off a star was because the room I was staying in didn’t have a lock. It had a hook lock from the inside, when you’re in there, but when I was out exploring the area, I had to trust that no one was going to open the room and take my things.
Room/Bed: The room itself is a suite with the bathroom connected. The bed was comfortable enough for a couple of days stay. No issues.
Overall, I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again if there was a lock installed. Thanks for a unique experience!
