Pete's place was a good size and in a great location with a wonderful deck and super easy parking and entry, and he had very clear instructions and was extremely quick to reply to messages. Being in Hyde Park (historic district), the building is older, but with refreshes (carpet, paint, shower head, etc.). The basics are provided (towels, kitchen utensils, paper towels, TP, etc.) – but no toiletries besides hand soap, no laundry detergent, etc which I appreciated that Pete is very upfront about.
Some upkeep could've been better – for example, the oven mitt had food stains, the living room clock was an hour behind, multiple bent/missing window blinds, etc. No major issues that needed fixing during my stay, but just several small things that I did not expect from an Airbnb Superhost.
A few hours before I checked out, Pete also told me he gave me a perfect 5-star review, saying that the more 5-star reviews he gets, the better for his Airbnb ranking and that anything below 5 stars is considered a bad review. Seemed a little strange, because at that point it was too early for him to know if I had followed the house checkout rules or not. (I did, but what if I hadn't?)
All in all, a fine stay but not quite what I expected.
