According to the pictures and the wonderful reviews, what I anticipated was quite the let down. What is advertised as a separate space was not the case. When you arrive, be prepared to walk up a flight of stairs that you wonder may fall apart beneath you. Once you get to the front door, the flimsy dead bolt with a locking code will make you wonder how your belongings will be secure. After entering the “apartment” , you will see that the floor slants down to your left. How sturdy is this rental?
The best part about staying here is the questionable door that leads the lower level, where another person or “co-host” lives. This door has a few locks, all of which are accessible to the people that live underneath you. The promise of no one entering the apartment would be comforting, but the fact that these people are strangers really doesn’t help. Perhaps I could let some things slide, but the drive to this place consisted of people pushing shopping carts and smoking substances that may be illegal in all states. So, leaving your car in a gravel driveway with questionable neighbors did not add to my sense of well being.
Bottom line, we walked in, we walked out, and then we were still charged the entire amount, including the cleaning fee. So my first time experience on AirBnb will be the last.
