Check in could have been smoother…I arrived at 3:45 pm which was after check in time (3:00 pm) after an 11 hour flight and the cleaning person was still there. The code I had been given did not work so the cleaning person could give me her code. The accommodation was bigger than I thought which was an added bonus. And it has everything that you need. When I asked where the tea kettle and the ironing board were kept both items were delivered to the Airbnb within two days. I didn’t think the place was as clean as most of the reviews said… stairs needed a vacuum and dishwasher had not been unloaded from last guests. Shelves had remains of onion and garlic skins etc. It is a basement apartment which means that it is dark and you don’t know what is going on outside. Also you hear EVERYTHING from the upstairs unit; whole conversations. You cannot control the heat, I understood that is done remotely so I worked a lot with layering. The telephone number to contact Allyson supplied by Airbnb at time of payment goes directly to a voicemail which tells you the best way to contact Allyson is to send her an email, which was is not really acceptable, especially when during my stay the keypad had two mechanical (I think) failures. I sent a message thru Airbnb about the problem, and both times the response was immediate, though unfortunately it took a few hours to fix so I was locked out of the Airbnb. It even ended up costing me money as I had to go to the nearest restaurant for WIFI (I am from overseas so I do not have roaming) and I needed a place to hang out for a few hours so I ended up eating there.
Allyson’s basement apartment is adequate and will serve the purpose if you plan to use it only for sleeping.
