Aaron’s apartment is a great value for 4 bedrooms and 2 bathroom, but that is where the positives ended for me.
It’s definitely sparse and you can tell the apartment gets a lot of use with signs of wear and tear evident throughout (stains on the couch and carpets, kitchen island had a part of the wood missing at the corners, walls scuffed, etc). The bed I was in was SO creaky, it was very hard to sleep as every move I made caused the bed to creak loudly.
We also arrived right at 4PM to check in and there was still someone there cleaning and he told us he would need an additional 30 minutes. Don’t think he finished as there was a mark where something spilled on the floor near the dining table, a bowl was put away with goldfish cracker remnants still in it, crumbs all over the kitchen island, towels were in the washer still. Not a great experience.
Also found it strange that the host asks you to bring your own hand towels if you plan to use a towel on your face. While I understand makeup stains are hard to get out I would suggest either buying darker towels, bleaching the white towels or building the cost of replacing towels into the cost of staying. To ask people to pack a towel for their Airbnb is very odd (I have stayed in at least 20 vacation rentals).
Overall a very mediocre experience.
