What I appreciated most about my stay at this Airbnb was Alexei's responsiveness in troubleshooting issues and questions that have arisen. One example was when I could not drop off my heavy luggage at the front door when I arrived early prior to the 4pm check in time. Alexey called ASAP and came up with a resolution to drop off my luggage at an alternative location.
Something I did not anticipate was the steepness and narrowness of the stairs in this Airbnb leading up to the room. To give context, my room was on the third floor. For travelers who have little luggage this might be ok. However, I was with large luggage and was especially careful as I went up and down two flights of stairs with my luggage. My suggestion would be to include this information in the Airbnb listing so that travelers can plan in advance to pack lighter. If packing lighter is not an option, travelers can know in advance that this Airbnb might potentially not be for them.
Other reviewers of this Airbnb noted noise. In my experience, I did hear the sound of construction going on in a neighboring property. This was not really a big issue for me.
Other observations:
* No screen to serve as barrier when you let the window in the Airbnb down if you want some fresh air; bugs can go in the room if you let down the windows.
* Low height of the protective barriers in the elevated portion between the parking lot and house.
* In addition to the stairs within the Airbnb leading up to the room, the steps by the parking lot leading to the front door and back door could be wider in width.
* This property can be difficult to get around (the observations on the stairs).
* No hooks in the bathroom to hang bath towel.
* Consider adding a wifi-connectable printer in the Airbnb and place the printer in the common area (maybe a small side table in the corner of the kitchen). This would be such a complement to the high speed internet that this Airbnb already offers.
