Gabby's a pretty great host. She's quick to respond, able to supply me with a few things I needed for my stay. Here's the pro's and con's.
Pro's:
*Loved that I had my own entrance and was so secured. Gabby has put quite a few safety measures in place and that allowed me to sleep with windows open, and just an over all feeling of safety and comfort while in her BnB.
*The bed and pillows is amazing comfortable.
*There is tons of storage in this bedroom. some around the bed, and loved the little pull out "nightstand" on the bed set. The closet is huge. The bathroom has tons of storage too.
*Gabby's place is in a really nice, quiet neighborhood. There are tons of restaurants, shops, etc. within just a few minutes in any direction.
*The room has great AC that you can control -- I was able to keep the room nice and cool, especially nice, since I work at night and sleep during the day. The blackout curtains kept it pretty dark in the room as well.
*Loved having a decent size fridge and microwave in the room.
*Loved the towel warmer and she provides plenty of towels.
*Free parking was a plus, since parking in the bay area can sometimes be a challenge.
Cons: -
--- These are just mostly centered around some frustrations I had staying there for a month and only centered around the bathroom. They weren't really deal breakers...just things to maybe be aware of especially if you plan to make this a long term stay.
*The shower situations is not to bad once I figured it out. It's best if the "button" is pushed and you give yourself at least 10-15 minutes before you shower. Because the shower time is limited to 15 minutes...I think (it might be only 12 minutes)…getting into a warm shower is great. The shower is sorta either cold/cool or warm, but once you get to the "hot" there's no way to really get a hot hot shower. So if that's your thing..be ware. So you definitely want to "push the heater button" and let the water really have a chance to get hot before you start the timer/shower.
*The shower head is super awkward. There's no water pressure, literally, so you have to stand right under the shower the entire time. It's not really a big deal -- but after staying there the better part of a month, it was kind of annoying. I think for a few days stay, it probably won't be a big deal.
* The bathroom faucet is like an airport faucet. It's just on or off. You can't adjust the temperature at all. Again, not a big deal...but after a month I was over rinsing my mouth with warm water after I brush my teeth. It's also your only source of water in the room … so you might want to bring a few bottles of water for drinking and just throw them in the fridge to keep it cool.
Over all, this is a great Airbnb to stay at. You'll be very comfortable and Gabby is a very nice host.
