We stayed here directly after are wedding for one night to head to our honeymoon the next day. The location was accurate to the pictures and the host do a good job communicating and making sure the place is nice and comfortable. However, we had some minor to major problems that, while out of the hosts control, made for not so pleasurable experience.
We stayed on a Saturday night and, while we were in Bishop Arts, the Airbnb was not located near any major strips or bars. The neighborhood was still very loud. The next door neighbor played music outside their home all through the night and overall the neighborhood and neighboring streets were very loud and not conducive for sleeping which is all we wanted to do after a very long day. Another issue we had was with the designated parking spot. Each duplex has a dedicated driveway, however there was a covered car in the spot as if someone was storing their car in the driveway. The host was notified, but said that it could be another guest and to park on the street. Our duplex also did also not have access to the side yard available to the pictures and so you basically have a 50/50 chance of being able to use the side yard space if you book this place.
The issue that made us write this review though was our neighbors across the wall. Both duplex spaces are run by the Airbnb hosts and tenants next door were fighting a lot through out the night. Very early on after we arrived we could hear a man and woman yelling at each other and it continued through out the night in increments. With my now wife at one point trying to wake me up at 2am after being woken up to more screaming, yelling, slamming doors, and also partying at the same time. The Airbnb host makes it very explicit their space is not a party space, but there is not enforcement of that it seems. If it hadn't been very late after a very long day and not $400 for one night, we would have left.
Overall, while some of the problems can be credited to the Airbnb hosts, the ones that bothered us were to the neighborhood and the neighbors. I understand these problems are out of the control of the Airbnb host, but this space was not what we had imagined.
When we checked out the next morning we were able to enjoy the neighborhood and the nearby coffee shops and restaurants. However during the night, we were left feeling uncomfortable and unsafe.
