This was my first Airbnb trip and was very excited cause of the reviews. They were right for the most part. It's a very cozy basement with a nice charm to it. The house location is not bad as there are bus stops just a few minutes away. From the convention center in Downtown, it took about 25 minutes to get to the house.
We didn't spend much of our days here at the house but it was comfortable at night. Lisa even allowed me to stay past the check-out time because our greyhound bus didn't leave til the evening.
The only thing negative thing that could not be helped is the unfortunate thin ceilings. I did not mention this to Lisa as it seemed that even with the lighting steps, I can't help but hear from downstairs. This shouldn't be a bother if you start your days around 8:00am. Unfortunately, I do not and am also a very light sleeper. My boyfriend didn't seem bothered as he is a deep sleeper and hardly noticed.
There are a lot of the family's personal belongings in the rental space. The closet in the room is actually someone's sewing space and there is makeup in the bathroom cabinets.
The reviews were spot on about the family cat. He(or she?) is the sweetest little companion! I have a love for cats despite my allergy and their cat came every so often to say hello and cuddle.
A few more things to mention is 1) We never tracked down the mini-fridge. We simply could not find it. Didn't really need to use it that badly though, just for bottled water. 2) Thank you for the introduction to Moon Pies. They were yummy. 3) Also thank you for the free bus tickets! We received a total of 4 free bus ride vouchers.
