This was our first experience with AirBnB, and I have to say it was mixed. Sheldon seemed rushed when he greeted us, and he never mentioned the wi-fi code, but he did let us drop off our suitcases when we arrived at 12:45 and the previous tenants had not yet left. We appreciated that.

The neighborhood was pleasant, and the apartment is spacious and reasonably clean, though hardly immaculate. We were grossed out, however, to find only a bottom sheet and comforter on the bed, with no top sheet or duvet. Worse, Sheldon asked us to straighten it when we left (rather than removing the sheet). It seemed pretty clear that the next guests would be sleeping in it, and we assumed it probably hadn't been changed after the previous guests left.

The building, too, is pretty down at the heel. The dead flowers in several of the windows add to the atmosphere (in a creepy way). Overall, it was okay, but barely.
