I’ve stayed in many an Airbnb- and I can say (let’s start with the positive, shall we?) - this is one of the nicer one’s as far as the finishes go. Higher end appliances, comfortable beds and linens, plush towels, etc.
Unfortunately, though- there are a few caveats that I would want to read in a review before booking an airbnb- so here ya go.
+No AC. The home was a constant 80 degrees our entire stay (3 days). I will say- I did message the owner on day 2, and they did come quickly to look into- (and also brought a small fan) and was told they found that the a/c was frozen. So we left it off for hours, at which point the house got over 80 degrees, but then we turned it back on, and for the rest of the evening and for the duration of our stay- it didn’t budge one degree. I did let them know later that evening , with a picture of the thermostat, that it still hadn’t budged from 80. All I heard back was that they would send a tech after we checked out. Ok.
So that was fun during a week of 90+ degree days in Columbus.
+The owners are doing construction (as of now) on the other townhouse connected to this one. When I heard there would be construction, I did message back right away to ask if there would be construction noise during our stay. I was assured there would be none while we were staying there..... Well, guess what we awoke to at 7:50am our first morning? Hammering and electric drills going into the shared wall of the townhome. I messaged the owner, and they did have the construction stop. We didn’t hear any the rest of our stay- but I would check on construction progress before booking if these noises bug you, and impede on your peaceful vacation.
+No toaster (we bought some really yummy bagels for breakfast that we couldn’t toast )
+Not a single place to set a water/ cup/ phone/ charger next to (either side) of the bed in the master. There is not much room for more than a bed in this room, as it’s very tiny, but still- this did annoy us. Maybe it’ll annoy you too?
The Pros (there were some, don’t get me wrong)
*There was air in the bedroom (thank heavens) as there was an additional window air conditioner. This is where we spent most of our time, since the 1st floor of the house was pretty miserable and unusable.
*The loft is nice for added space. Our 16 year old son enjoyed using it as his personal chill space, and as well- had a personal air conditioner.
*Higher end finishes and linens
*Nicely decorated.
