I honestly think overall it’s a great Airbnb. Although, it has its ups and downs.
Pros: The host Delphina is super nice, she made me feel comfortable. Great location! It’s about 2 to 3 blocks away from the ocean! The neighbors in the area are all sweet and trustworthy! The Airbnb studio has a lock code for you to get in and out of which makes life really easy. That way you don’t lose a room key like a hotel would have. Great outdoor area with cute outdoor decorations. The actual studio itself is somewhat spacious. Has a full kitchen that is stocked with pots and pans, plates, cups, bowls, and all that fun stuff. As well as, the host put water bottles in the refrigerator for me. The bed was kind of comfortable. And the blankets kept me somewhat warm but were very thin. I still consider this a pro because the bed, blankets and the pillows all looked new and clean.
There is a wall-mounted TV that is small, but gets the job done. As well as, there is a small couch with a small coffee table. The kitchen table is really small, but at least there was one to put groceries on.
Cons: One of the biggest cons that I noticed right away was that the toilet sings every five minutes. I tried to fix it, but there was no fixing it. There was nothing I could do, the bathroom is right next to the bed, so I had to listen to that all night long for four days. It was also really windy when I stayed there, and the host has cow bell wind chimes. I heard cowbell wind chimes for four days. I thought it at first was the Kong in the front area, it’s next to the Buddha statue. I took the Kong off thinking that that would help me sleep, but no, it was the wind chimes that were very loud and sounded like a cowbell. There was nothing I could do about it. I couldn’t take them down, and it made my sleep really rough. I am also a hard sleeper. It takes a lot for me to wake up. The host lives on site. With that being said, the host has two adorable children. However, children will be children. They get up around 6:30am - 7 AM every single day and are outside playing on the swing set that is right in front of the airbnb studio. Or, the kids are in the house upstairs running around. That’s right, part of their house goes upstairs. The upstairs area goes right over the Airbnb studio. In the early morning, all I heard was a little pitter patter feet running around starting at 6:30am - 7 AM. I’m on vacation, so I shouldn’t have to wake up around 7 AM. I almost didn’t post this because I didn’t want to hurt the host feelings. I really like her. It’s a shame because it is perfect it a lot of ways, but has some minor room for improvement, and the family needs to work on the sound level for their guest. Anyway, I think guests should stay here if they are an early morning person, and don’t mind loud sounds throughout the day, because the loud sounds never stop. Remember to bring your comforter and pillows from home also.
