My husband, our 7 month old baby and I stayed at Luke’s place for a month in December. Great host and tastefully decorated home. I’m trying to be honest and listing pros and cons based on our experience:
Pros:
1- The host is communicative and helpful. We needed a pack n play and they provided us with one.
2- Home is cosy and appliances /cooking wares are good quality
3- The neighborhood is nice and fairly quiet
4- comfortable bed and mattress
Cons:
1- The home is Very old so the floor is noisy especially the second floor.
Also, the air conditioning system is so old and ancient. we had a challenge with it every night. If you turn it on in the bedroom, the bedroom gets too hot which was not tolerable for us. You basically have to option : HOT or COLD bedroom. The host provided electric heater but it was again too powerful and you had to wake up in the middle of the night to switch it off.
2- The living room area was so small for us with a baby. I recommend adding more photos to the profile so it can give the guests more realistic picture of the home.
3- There is a school just in front of the home and it makes it hard to find a parking spot during the day. There is no assigned parking and few times we had to park on another street which we were not comfortable with since our car was rental.
4- No balcony or view. Our curtains were closed 90% of the time.
5- very tiny kitchen and small dishwasher
To be honest, while Luke’s place is very cosy and well decorated, it wasn’t the right place for our stay and we wouldn’t select it if we had more information and saw more realistic pictures of the place (size, age, view, parking, etc)
