If this had been my first Airbnb experience it would have been my last.
The pictures are accurate, they just don’t show that there is no ceiling, just fabric stapled up. There are several patched wall holes that have sheet rock placed in them, but no finishing tape or paint. The entire place has that unfinished look to it. At least ten DIY projects have been started, but not finished. Everything from pictures waiting to be hung to cleaning out the window wells.
Some of them I consider safety issues. The egress window has big branches in the window well which would be a major problem if it ever had to be used. There are sharp edges on the counter tops that can cut you while plugging in the appliances. I am also a little concerned that there are open wires coming from an uncovered breaker box in the kitchen area.
The most dangerous thing is the outside kitchen entry. There are three cement steps with no railings either on the steps or on the top stoop. The stoop is barely large enough for the screen door to open out to the right, then the inside door opens inward to the left. Then you walk in, go up one step up into the kitchen to your right so that you can turn around to close the outside door and open the basement door to the left then you can step down to go onto the basement steps. The outside door and the basement door cannot be open at the same time. All this with luggage and she asks that you remove all shoes.
There is no lock on the door to the Airbnb space, therefore no personal security. The owner comes down through the basement to do her laundry. The laundry area is not available to the guests.
For the first time I stayed at a place that I will never go back to.
