This review is from the perspective of a former airbnb host and family with young kids that has stayed in many airbnbs over the years. I will note our experience was likely less positive than many others that have stayed before due to the prior occupants, and Tal felt very bad about it. He felt this was because of a very quick one or two day turnover, though my wife said she had communicated we could be flexible on the dates. In any case, I do believe our experience was probably anomalous and he's probably found a new cleaning service by now. It is what it is.
The Good: The host Tal seemed like a really nice guy and was very responsive once we were booked, albeit out of town and left to the mercy of third parties to fix anything. The house is in a really charming neighborhood with a peaceful backyard. He allows pets, which is a big deal to my mind. There is an effective clothes washer and dryer, and central air conditioning, which was really nice. As discussed below, Tal refunded our cleaning fee immediately when we raised the issue of the cleanliness and was extremely apologetic about our experience. He had new carpets delivered the next day and even sent a toy for one of our kids.
The Bad: I would say it was extremely costly for the quality, but we were in a pinch. If the house had been cleaned when we moved in, it was not done well. The prior occupants had apparently had animals that had urinated in the carpets and on the comforter, and this was somehow not noticed by the cleaners. The stench of urine was fairly strong, and we had to take up all carpets and one comforter into a basement closet. They had broken the dining room lamp. Melted chocolate and a thick layer of dust attended one bed. The dishwasher is ineffective enough almost to make dishes dirtier. We were provided only one house key with a manual lock, which made life for multiple people more complicated than it needed to be. I would say the basement is marginally habitable, with the pullout sofa bed likely dating from the 1980s; I would certainly not call it a pleasant third bedroom, particularly for those in a month+ stay. And finally this is not a normal concern of hosts and Tal is probably not even aware, but for those with young kids, the paint on a number of windows is peeling/cracking off severely and lead paint is a very big concern.
If it had been cheaper, I'd probably attribute our experience to you get what you pay for. In this case, I'd say we didn't. But I do wish Tal the best and think others will have a better experience.
