A bit OT: Airbnb reviews should be taken with a grain of salt. No one wants to leave a negative review with their real name and photo, that's why most Airbnb reviews are positive. I've stayed at a couple places with a 4.90+ rating but there were glaring issues. No one wanted to point it out in their review because they thought "the next guest would surely complain about it, plus why would I want to taint my own profile and start an argument online?" This is why I prefer hotels to Airbnb. I can search tripadvisor and/or google maps for real reviews.

Best airbnb I have ever stayed at had no reviews whatsoever. I had become so jaded from previous experience that I figured I may as well take a chance.

The place itself was fairly standard but the host was very professional and appreciative of the custom. Seems this is a lot to expect nowadays?
