This stay was anything but desirable. Jenny was not very hospitable.
If I asked you what makes a location on Airbnb a good one, what would you say?
Close to public transportation? Nice host? Comfy bed? Safe neighborhood? Ease of access? Privacy? Well this place has none of that.
She goes into your room when you’re not there. There is not a lock on the outside of the door so I would not recommend leaving anything of value out. She is very invasive and you will not have privacy or solitude. She also asked for a picture of my girlfriend’s ID. I’m not sure what she does with these photos because Airbnb already confirms our identity through the app. Airbnb later informed me that this is not proper protocol.
She also asked our work schedules and told us we had to text her and let her know the times when we are leaving and entering the house. We also had to text her when we arrived at the house for the first time. If you like checking in and walking into your Airbnb, this place will probably not work for you. She MUST give you a tour of the house. It’s not an option. She requires it. You have to correlate your schedule for that as well.
When looking through the reviews for this room she told guests in June and July that construction was “temporary”. It’s now the end of September and there is still construction along the whole block. The house is over 100 years old, so the whole house shakes when there is work being done at 7am.
She left a dirty towel in the room and it makes me wonder if the room was cleaned at all before our stay. The room does not have a mattress, it’s a futon and it’s very firm. I was sore after sleeping on it.
During my stay the average temperature outside was 84 degrees--which means inside the house, it’s at least 10 degrees warmer. I bought a fan to use in the room because there wasn’t any AC.

I would recommend viewing Jenny’s rules (About 750 words) before booking this place.
Some of the rules are: “All communication must be done through the Airbnb app”; however, she texted my girlfriend and I through our personal numbers.
She asks guests to lock the two front doors but DO NOT forget—she will kick you out. However, she left the door unlocked during our stay.
No perfumes or scents—so you’re not allowed to wear cologne or perfume. If you wear scents, this might not be the right place for you.
No going into the kitchen or living room before 7am because it’s “quiet hours”; however, there is still construction going on at this time, so it’s not very quiet.
It seems like the people staying here are an inconvenience to her, I’m not sure why she rents out the rooms if she doesn’t want to be hospitable. I did not find it very welcoming—it’s a very strict/rigid environment. Not a very homely setting. It kind of makes me think twice about using Airbnb in the future.
