This review will be a PRO and CON review. So the pros.. location is so good! Just blocks from so many restaurants, walking paths, and 6th Street. The space was quaint. The back patio was nice to have when we wanted to sit outside. The washer, dryer, fridge, dishwasher, and stove were very convenient.
Now the cons... I’ve never stayed in an Airbnb that was so dirty and scarce on basic things. The first thing I noticed was that there was no doormat, and we were constantly tracking in dirt from how sandy it was outside. Then there were dead bugs everywhere. We had to sweep immediately upon arrival and had to continue sweeping up dead bugs.
There is also Packing tape around the doors, maybe as a way to keep bugs out or the AC in. Then we noticed the flooring in the kitchen was coming up by just walking on it.
There is not adequate parking and though we were told we could park in the alley, neighbors who also use the alley would honk at us as they passed. There is one window unit and it is not adequate for cooling the whole place. We understand heat, we are from south Mississippi. So this isn’t a review from someone who just doesn’t know how to deal with heat. The kitchen would be so hot that we could not really enjoy cooking, or even just having a meal when we got take out.
The bed was comfy, but the pillows were all yellowed with stains. The bathroom floor needed cleaning. Roach poo on the sink was not so appealing.
There is a pull out sofa as the listing indicates, but it’s in the bedroom and if it was folded out, it blocks the bathroom. Not ideal.
We have stayed on lots of Airbnb’s and this is the dirtiest one we have ever been to. For a $175 cleaning fee, I expected much more.
