First off let me just say I travel quite a bit. I rent an air bnb at a minimum once or twice per month. That being said I have never left a less than awesome review so this hurts to do so.
Cons:
I am from RI but wanted my own space with my children. There was not one night of sleep that was had. Not one. There is a train (I believe it’s a train) that passes the home multiple times a day the is pretty annoying. The floors are so thin I can tell you every family member who lives upstairs, their age bracket, what time they go to work, and the worst part their dog. All things I could care less to know.
It was me and my two sons. One child was able to get a warm bath before the rest of us got ice cold showers. The water heater is fixed so you can’t change it which I figured. Either way my message went unanswered. The owner however did stop the dogs whining after I complained twice. The dog whines for hoursssssss starting at 4am when it’s owner goes to work. How do I know? You can hear EVERYTHING.
I wanted to leave and ask for a refund but it was the holiday week and all other air bnb’s were sold out. Also the last guest complained and left in the middle of their stay so I didn’t want to fight & argue.
Lastly i really think for the amount paid a mattress is needed in that house. The room closest to the door whether left open or not receives no type of heat!!! None. So technically it’s a one bedroom but that’s primarily where the family congregates so you have a choice between freezing or having no sleep. You choice :-/ the owner was quick to respond about the dog and it stopped so that helped! Due to no fault of his own though there is a young child who can be heard running, playing, etc..
Pros
Close to the highway, convenient stores, Restaurants.
Lots of space
Plenty of air mattresses for the kids
