I just want to start my review off with saying that Lee was great. He was very responsive and his directions were extremely detailed and clear. I am giving him 4 stars because things went a little askew. My review is not even on this location, due to the fact that I got a message an hour after checking into this space that I needed to move to a different house because the toilet was clogged. So my partner and I packed up our newly moved into room and had to find the next location (which was only 3 mins away). After arriving to the new house, we noticed that it was very clean and well maintained. We got up to our room and were able to get settled, then received another message that the toilet in the first Airbnb was actually fine, but we didn’t want to move again.
Each door has a lock on it for your protection, which is great! Except.. ours didn’t lock. As two women, we felt very unsafe sleeping in a house full of strangers (this house is used solely for Airbnb so other guests were staying there) with a door that wouldn’t stay locked. Any time the air would turn on, the door would open by itself and it woke my partner up in fear that she would see someone standing in the doorway. There is a secondary lock for you to use while you’re inside the room, one of those chain sliders, which gave us some peace of mind, but there is no way to protect your possessions if you need to leave. Anybody can push the door open and have access to your stuff. If you’re a woman, I wouldn’t recommend staying here by yourself or for an extended period of time. You also have to ask permission to plug anything in or touch the thermostat. Other than that, we had access to a kitchen and a private bathroom (once again, this review is on a completely different location than the one listed, Rainier Retreat) and for the most part, we enjoyed our stay.
