This home is beautiful and the space is perfectly laid out for a large group. There are plenty of beds, the living room space is open with a wonderful kitchen and the rooftop is great. There are bathrooms in almost every room which is also really helpful for a large group.
That said, the house was not clean when we arrived, the cleaning person had to come back to clean the floors again. The kitchen is laid out well, but the items in it have not been cared for well by previous guests so some things were moldy and unusable including the dishwasher and many of the plastic dishes. We had to hand wash all of our dishes which was quite inconvenient given we had 11 people together. The linens were clean, but it seemed that was the only thing really done between guests as there were rings from cups on all the tables, visible dirt on the floors, trash piled up outside…
In all, it’s a great space and its proximity to the universities, music scene and parks is good (no more than 10 minutes ) without having to deal with all the crowd. There are many other houses that are also AirBnBs next door so it’s possible your party might meet up with another on the rooftop!
If we were to stay here again, we would bring our own cleaning supplies and think differently about meals. I hope the owners will take some time to come home, rethink their cleaning services, and do some general maintenance to keep this space as good as it could be.
