The location is the only thing this studio had going for it. We had issues with the cleanliness, finding poop on the bedsheet where our faces went, and nothing felt cleaned deeply enough as it should be for a pet friendly rental. While we’re usually pretty flexible travelers and go with the flow of rentals, a lot of things keep us from recommending this rental. There is no iron even though it says there is, normally this wouldn’t be an issue but we were in town for a wedding and needed to iron our clothes. The entrance to the studio is through a side gate that is hidden by branches, these desperately need to be trimmed and I see I’m not the first renter to point that out but it still hasn’t been taken care of. Unless you duck and dodge you’ll end up having to touch and move some to be able to get in and out of the gate. This was especially troublesome after a morning rain. The front door doesn’t seal correctly and you can see sunlight all around it, the interior and exterior of the doorknobs are covered with some type of duct tape, there’s a step right at the door opening that’s super easy to miss both going down and up because it’s very unexpected right at a door entrance (even though the rental stated it was stair free there were stairs up to it as well), and the entire lock feels like it’s about to fall off of the door. The water coming from faucets is yellow. The sofa is a type of futon and not a sofa bed as we expected and there’s a seam down the middle which makes it uncomfortable. We ended up leaving a night early because of everything.
We had very high hopes with the amount of good reviews, but sadly this was our first bad experience with Airbnb and it’s unfortunate because it was supposed to be our first fun weekend away in a long time.
