PROS:
- Pretty easy to get to downtown
- Pretty spacious place
- Pretty clean with the exception of finding a shower liner covered with pink bacteria when I arrived. The host was prompt in giving me another one to replace the old one with.
- Host is very responsive and friendly
CONS:
- For such a spacious place, the bathroom was pretty tight and not so convenient to use especially since there isn’t an additional full body mirror outside to prepare (i.e., doing make up, getting dressed, etc.)
- The dangling light above the bathroom sink isn’t friendly to tall people. My partner kept hitting his head on it when using the sink.
- Since this is a lower unit under the main unit the hosts reside, it wasn’t as private as I hoped. This was my first experience at an AirBNB that was an attached unit, so I learned a few things. It was very inconvenient to have to whisper and not be able to watch TV (a volume level of 15 or 16 didn’t allow me to hear anything I was watching enough to be engaged) after quiet hours. We also heard activities that took place in the upper unit like laundry machine going and vacuuming, which wern’t a major issue but was disruptive after awhile.
- I never stayed at an AirBNB that required me to take out all my trash and recycling to the bins outside when I checked out. That was very strange and inconvenient. It took extra effort to plan around it and was absolutely not ideal.
