I booked this reservation several months ago, before having much experience with AirBnB. I booked this for a weekend trip with my parents, and from the description, this place looked comfortable and safe. By our standards, this listing was disappointing on both counts. I can definitely see how this listing would be authentically appealing for college students who are looking for a casual and convenient location for bar hopping (which it was), but I don't think the listing images or the price emphasized this enough. The building did not feel safe, as the building had no lock or code- in fact, the front door of the building didn't even shut completely. The locks on our listing were not impressive, and we were on the first floor. The constant noise was an additional issue, as well as the beaming streetlight that flooded the master bedroom with lighting. Again, both of these issues would probably be negligible for the right guests, but did not meet our needs and expectations. The heating system was not clearly explained in her notes, and only truly heated the master bedroom- not the living room. The additional space heaters provided supplied minimal heat. I slept one night on the visibly worn and possibly dirty couch, and slept very poorly. The toilet was an ongoing issue, as where most toilets have a chain that keeps the toilet flushing on the back inside of the toilet, this one had a string that constantly had be re-tied for every flush (according to my dad who was repeatedly in charge of fixing it). Between three people, this quickly became frustrating and unpleasant. While we all stayed there the first night, ultimately my mother and I stayed with family at their nice hotel for the second night as we felt tired and unsafe from our first night here. After this experience, I doubt that my parents will be open to another AirBnB reservation in the near future. For the price we paid, we could have stayed in a nice hotel with real amenities. The parking was another ongoing challenge, as there was little parking to choose from, and was annoying considering the price we were paying would have afforded a hotel where parking would have been included. Overall, I could see this as a good choice for college kids/young professionals who don't mind some security issues and noise for the location perks, but not for families or most adults.
