Overall a good stay, met the needs but did have some faults. I'll list out the key criterions for anyone's review!
Host - super communicative and responsive during waking hours, we had an issue with a "smoke like" smell which he addressed with us immediately. This was something I had asked upon booking and it seemed there'd be no issue, however there was, but he did resolve it and was very proactive to solve it (see below)
Smell - the host came over twice, and we found out that the next door neighbor uses incense on the daily, so if you're sensitive to incense/smoke smell, I would not recommend. Somehow it gets into the living room through the vent system. Host was able to talk to the neighbor to stop using it for the rest of our stay, there was an odd smell to the living room in general that we couldn't put our nose on what was it, could deal with that much better than the incense smell though. He did buy a Levoit Air Purifier after this incident so maybe that'll help out for future peopel? Also he did add the incense burning to the listing page after we found out what was happening.
Wifi - great no issues, workable for remote work
Bed - had a memory foam mattress topper, super comfortable, sleep great
Couch - not comfortable, typically didn't use it unless we were eating / watching Netflix, otherwise we'd avoid it.
Furniture - majority was ikea product, it does the job.
Bathroom - was a little small, but works, showerhead has strong pressure.
Kitchen - had all the basics, worked.
AC - works great, however makes an odd noise, addressed with the host to fix long term. I did a temporary fix by opening the vent a bit.
Overall - was a good stay, if it didn't have the smell issue would have been a much better experience. Would say though the pictures do look much better than how it looks in person, but that's typical of airbnb photos.
