The house is clean and open; there was a lot of room and plenty of bedrooms. Garage parking for one vehicle available, which was nice. The upstairs neighbors were quiet as little mice! EJ’s place is centrally located and an easy drive to downtown. It is an old house and it definitely has old house charm about it. Check in was easy and the price was excellent.
Unfortunately not our best AirBnb experience otherwise. There was small spots of black mold on the ceiling of the bathroom. It was freezing cold all weekend and the heater is locked, so it couldn’t keep up and heat the home. There were barely blankets to use.
Parking is difficult, there’s a lot of road construction happening and we got stuck (& woken up) when they ripped up the street with a jackhammer at 7am on a Saturday morning. Neighborhood is not that great; not a very “walkable” place and the next door neighbors were unkind when we were leaving.
EJ was an informative and responsive host, but there are a lot of rules and a ton of information to look through and make sure you get right. I spent a long time scrolling back through pages to figure out what all I needed to do. The guest policy was very strict. I’ve stayed in a lot of AirBnbs and this unfortunately was not a great stay for us.
