Con’s:
- Airbnb host approached our private entrance unannounced and asked us to leave for a period of time so they could get their home appraised during the middle of the day on a humid/hot heatwave, on our last day there. No warning, no heads up, it was “hey I’m sorry I forgot about this but he needs to get inside your Airbnb for the home appraisal.” Really?!?! I’m literally going through a refinance on my own home as well, but if I had Airbnb guests staying at my home, I’d give them a warning before they even check in that they’d need to leave around a certain window time slot. Maybe bake them some cookies or something, I don’t know? She gave us 2 minutes to get our dogs and leave.
- uneven pathway from street to entrance is rocky, uneven on a hill and gave way while I was unloading stuff from the car. I’m a pretty athletic guy and stumbled and fell to the ground while bringing stuff inside. I stepped on what I thought was solid ground, but the rocks gave way to the side of the hill, I almost fell down the side of the hill but stumbled and fell on the pathway instead. I’m extremely lucky I didn’t get hurt.
- loud upstairs. Heard footsteps running at 5am, can hear every little thing they’re doing above you. Sounded like a wrestling match above us at times.
- long walk from car to entrance. If you are older or have a lot of stuff to unpack, this may not be the best spot for you.
- steep and windy 1.5-2 miles to the house. If you’re worried about wildfires, power lines and easy access in/out of the neighborhood, this place is not for you.
