This Airbnb has so much potential to be great, but missed the mark in numerous areas.
Check-In: there were so many steps! I wish all of the steps were listed on one slide and then pictures to accompany instructions if necessary
Parking: parking all the way on the 8th floor made me super dizzy to go up and down.
Exterior: Getting inside of the building via the side door with code is very easy to do. The unit is on the first floor which is convenient, but because it's the main floor it gets a ton of foot traffic from residents who live on upper floors so the carpets have a very funky odor that reeks of wet stinky dog smell! I tried checking on other floors, and they didn't have that funky smell at all. Also accessing the unit was very simple to do.
Amenities: the gym was small but definitely has everything you need. The pool upstairs is super cute but was freezing and not heated so we weren't able to use it unfortunately.
Interior: it was a very cute space but missed quite a few finishing touches. The fridge was bare and empty, not even waters were provided. The kitchen had no kind of decor to make it feel like a home at all. There was a Keurig but only a few k-cups provided and very unorganized so who knows how long those were sitting there for... the washing machine had a load of wet laundry inside of it and a dry load in the dryer. When I messaged the owner to see why that was left, Joey messaged me back within minutes saying that the maid may have forgotten because she had another unit to clean, which is no excuse because that's their job! It's totally unacceptable that I have to be the one to move any kind of laundry or have to touch something that isn't mine. I ended up putting the load in the dryer then moving all of the towels and laundry into the closet But was not happy about having to do that at all. The rug in the living room was an off white cream color or supposed to be, but was obvious it hadn't been cleaned at all because it was dirty. There were a bunch of pillows on the couch and they were super weird shaped due to excessive use and some had rips in them. I wish there was a small dining table in the dining area which it was just an empty space. The bath towels were mismatched and super rough on the skin. I typically have experienced airbnbs that have matching towels and are very soft. The hand soaps could've also been better quality and matched brands per each bathroom sink. There was no welcome guide that gave all the details on local things to do or places to go.
Location: This was probably the best part of this Airbnb. Rainey street has a ton of
Cute little eateries and food trucks along this street. It definitely gave me the college town vibes which if you enjoy that feel, you won't be disappointed. There aren't any coffee shops nearby which was a bummer, but that's ok.
Again, if these areas were covered - this Airbnb could have so much more potential and could even charge more for the space.
