Overall, I think that the host's place is better suited for short weekend trips. I booked a long term stay (four months) and I had some issues during my time there. I had no issues with the property itself, but I think it could be managed better. The positives are that the location is great, the place is fully furnished, there is plenty of parking, the neighborhood is safe, and I think the host can be very nice. On the flip side there were some discrepancies in the original listing vs what I actually got. 1) The host's picture and name are not real 2) There was supposed to be a cleaning service every two weeks which only came once during my entire four month stay 3) At check-in the kitchen had spills and the shower had old soap scum that needed to be cleaned 4) The third room (which is where the washer/dryer is housed) was the crash-pad of the host's brother whenever he came in town. 5) The host only gave a couple hours notice of when the brother would be coming to stay and when asked for a schedule I was told, "He doesn't have a schedule". I then asked for at least 24hrs notice and I was told, "You know this is an AirBnB right?"
Again, I think the property was a great location and the price was reasonable but the host really needs to work on being fully transparent so that people can make the best decisions for them.
