I have stayed in a lot of Airbnb’s and none are perfect and I never complain in reviews but I was actually disappointed with my experience based on all the great reviews this place was given and I felt it a little misleading. Nothing catastrophic happened and there are some great things about this place, so here’s my honest opinion...
Pros:
-Location! Easy walking distance to the gulch for all the shopping and food you could want. All the Broadway bars are about a 30 min walk. An Uber ride to anywhere within a couple mile radius is $8-10 during non-peak hours.
-check in was super easy and I was even allowed to check in an hour early.
-super quick responses from host
-funky and eclectic decor. Love the chalk wall and I think it’s so fun they leave a camera for guests to take Polaroids to hang in the place.
-comfy and clean beds, linen, and towels
-washer and dryer work great (bring your own detergent)
-allows pets
Cons:
-My only big complaint is the place is very dirty when you get past the first glance. Perk that they allow pets (I didn’t bring any) but there should be a well functioning vacuum. Vacuum was taped closed to work so I couldn’t empty it and it was packed with animal hair and dirt. The kitchen table and counter were decently clean but the kitchen chairs have not been cleaned in years, I can guarantee that. Tub itself was clean but there is a reason the tiles and floor are painted black and that’s to hide the lack of cleaning. I had to clean the drains in the bathroom sink and tub of loads of hair as they were both backing up with water. The fridge is missing shelving and was not clean inside. The Brita filter was a nice touch but it had a lot of pink mold inside. My brother joked there was a bear skin rug under his bed because there was so much hair.
-critters in the walls. At night you could hear them scratching in between the walls and ceiling of the bathroom and bedroom next to the bathroom. They aren’t entering the apartment from what I could tell but it was very hard to sleep with the noise.
