This 2 story Airbnb was fairly spacious, has new modern furniture (including comfy beds), and was in a good central location. Check in was simple. There were also some sweet touches like a box of chocolates - yum! Those are the pluses.
We were, however, disappointed to compare the actual house to the pictures. Based on the pictures, I would have expected a modern renovated light-filled space, but I now realize (after reviewing the photos once in the space) that this was the result of strategic photography. Not shown is an older house with old tile in the kitchen and baths (the kind that feels dirty on your feet even though I’m sure it was mopped); worn carpet on the second floor; older rugs on the first floor that could use replacing; a renovation that covered the basics like the bath vanity but not the unfinished corners and baseboards; and a backyard that could use some weeding and mowing.
In all, it’s a cozy spot if you don’t mind an old house and know what to expect. Had the pictures been more representative, I wouldn’t have left this review—but this isn’t like a real estate listing where you can see the property in person before you buy, so it’s more important in this context to fully and accurate represent a space with realistic (even if not insta-worthy) photos on Airbnb.
