When we stayed at Richie's and Nicole's place it was the first time they rented it out as an Airbnb and unfortunately you could feel it. The linen and towels were brand new but hadn't been washed; the washing machine didn't work properly as well as the dishwasher. There were a few things left behind in the bathroom and kitchen that were quite dirty and the layout is somewhat unusual: the second bedroom doesn't have a door and comes off the bathroom which means whoever stays in the back room will hear everyone go to the toilet, have a shower etc
The unit has a small courtyard which is accessible through a garage that others are using so there's very little privacy.
BUT in saying all this, Richie has been nothing short of amazing in helping out and trying to resolve the issues that were present! He lives upstairs and was very quick to respond to all messages and did his best to accommodate our wishes. For that reason I would recommended using them as a host 😊
