Pros: Easy to get into, safe neighborhood. Clean bed linens.
Cons: Rude host, unclean.
The studio gets no sunlight, so on arrival (6:00 pm) it was VERY cold. The heat initially did not warm the studio and there was grime in the kitchen (dirty bowls, sticky stuff in cabinets, gross toaster oven.)
We couldn’t reach Dennis, so we called Airbnb. After 2.5 hrs the heat began to work. Dennis came over at Airbnb’s prompting. He stood in the doorway and dismissed our concerns (‘the heater is powerful’), loudly insisting that we were being ‘ridiculous’ about the cleanliness. Dennis is tall; my husband and I are both smaller. The conversation felt unsafe.
By this time, it was very late. I work in healthcare and needed to be up early. The process for a refund felt overwhelming. We stayed the night; the next day my husband cleaned the kitchen area enough for us to use it. My husband has hosted Airbnbs, and I’ve stayed in many; this place is ok, but the host’s rudeness made it terrible.
