First things first, I’m aware that for such a low price for an Airbnb that it’s never going to be perfect. But there are some glaring problems that made me reconsider booking cheaper stays like this in the future.
My biggest issue, as some have previous mentioned, is that the bedding was really gross and covered in both human hair and what looked like maybe cat or dog hair. I got icked out and covered up as much of the sheet and pillows as I could with clean towels or my own clean clothes. Another problem was the shower. The sliding glass doors were broken and wouldn’t slide. When I tried to really tug they would just come loose and fall out of the tracks which is dangerous. This also means it’s impossible to shower without water getting on the floor since you can’t shut the water off yourself.
I saw someone else commented about the loose toilet and they’re correct. When you sit on it, it feels like it’s going to tip over. Not ideal.
For me personally, the 8 minutes to downtown ended up being kind of a stretch. I would say for me it was more like 15-20 minutes. Same with time to the airport. I left for the airport very early when there was no traffic but it took about 25 minutes. Not a big deal but definitely not as close as I was expecting when I booked it.
When I visited it was in the high 90s so I appreciated that they had their central AC on quite a bit. But because you can’t control the temperature it would get super cold when it was on at night and you’re only provided a thin comforter and top sheet so it got chilly. Pack warm PJs just in case! Or be less shy than I was and chat with them to let them know.
Some pros are that check-in is very easy, there is a smart TV for your use, and the door has a code to enter which I always like instead of a physical key. There is a mini fridge if needed and a keurig and Britta. They provided the wifi password but didn’t provide the network but I figured that out pretty fast without needing to ask.
In summary, I guess if you’re somebody who doesn’t expect to spend much time in the room or sleep in it very much than this is a great deal. But if you’re worried about cleanliness maybe look around more.
