With a more thorough cleaner, this review would have been 5 stars. Marc's place is very nice and has character. It's an older home with wood floors, tall ceilings, and good vibes. There are many house plants in the space with really add a nice touch. I loved that. Unfortunately, the bedroom smelled strongly of someone's odor, and when I laid down in bed I was greeted by a foul smelling pillow. Drool or dirty head, I'm not sure, but the next one smelled the same. The other 2 (of 4 total) smelled better, but still not fresh. This made me investigate the bedding further. The sheet smelled fresh, but the comforter definitely did not. Some areas just didn't smell fresh, while others smelled very bad. (Like dirty naked body...)
This is unfortunate, because the rest of the experience was really, really good. Marc's check-in and check-out instructions were the best I have ever experienced with any Airbnb host, and included pictures for help parking and entering the correct door. On top of that, the rest of the house was perfectly clean. I really can't stress how perfect the rest of the experience was, aside from the bedding. So don't let this review keep you from staying here, because I'm sure that hearing this will spark a talk with the cleaner to make sure this never happens again...and with that taken care of, this will be a wonderful place to stay.
Also, free reserved parking right behind the house! That's huge.
Give Marc a chance - I'm sure you'll be pleased.
