Sadly, I didn’t have a positive experience with this.
The host was fine and communicative, but the space is in real need of care ESPECIALLY for the high cost of the unit per night plus taxes etc. I don’t know if the owner lives out of state, but the lack of care made it seem as so.
Sorry for the honest review, but it might spare you and Airbnb an headache:
- The unit is directly on a busy road, very close to active train tracks and across the street from a bar with outdoor seating. If you’re at all sensitive to noise, this is not your spot. This is not listed in the posting and it became an issue. Since Airbnb doesn’t give the exact address until you book, this info about the noise should be posted on the listing to avoid issues.
- The exterior of the unit (stairs, hallway) are not cleaned or cared for and it’s just dirty. The host said something about the recent heatwave as to why the grounds were unkept, but this was far beyond that reasoning.
- The interior was “boho” but the unit is more like a living room / kitchen turned into a sleeping space. I appreciate the creativity but it’s odd and terribly loud. The bedding had an unpleasant odor and that didn’t make for a good night’s sleep.
- The tension shower rod for the shower needs to be replaced with something that won’t fall down while showering.
- The price of a nightly stay is 4x more than what it should be priced at given the issues stated.
I think with some real TLC this place would be fine, but you can’t do anything about traffic and trains.
Sorry for the review but it’s honest.
We left after one night when we planned to stay four.
