Husband and I stayed here the week leading up to New Year’s. Didn’t spend much time at the Airbnb other than sleeping and a little tv watching after long days tourist-ing. Overall it’s a nice roomy place for a decent price, and not too far of a drive from most of the touristy things you’re probably coming to town to do. Only interacted with hosts a few times via the app; quick response time. We will likely stay again on our next trip especially if we’re traveling with other people.
I’ll mention a few things that we didn’t know on booking that might impact others decisions to book or not:
- The bed in the master room is memory foam. Very comfortable, some of my best sleep of 2021 on that bed. A good bed is the #1 thing I look for when booking stays because I have a lot of trouble sleeping.
- The bunk beds are full sized mattresses, so they easily fit adults and even 2 to a bed probably. Can’t speak to how comfortable those mattresses are.
- The duplex is an older house in an older neighborhood. Seemed like a generally quiet neighborhood and we felt safe. FYI nothing in walking distance except the corner store a few blocks down the street. The owners have made an effort to spruce up the inside, but there are several things throughout the unit that really show its age (e.g. wiring issue with some outlets and hall lights, very outdated full bathroom with temperamental shower nob and hot water). None of this was a huge deal for us, was just surprising because of how updated the photos make it look.
- The roosters. At least during our stay there were two roosters living somewhere in the neighborhood behind the Airbnb. They did what roosters do starting around 6:30am and all morning and afternoon long. My husband is a heavy sleeper so he hardly noticed them. I am a very light sleeper, so thank God for noise canceling headphones. I was able to put those on when the roosters started up and get back to sleep. It’s unfortunate that this is probably the main reason we might not book here again because I understand it’s out of the hosts’ control. But a person’s gotta be able to sleep in on vacation.
