DO NOT LEAVE A DEPOSIT WITH THEM!
It goes against AirBnB policy. They tried to hit me with the “We need a deposit a week before my check in. When I told them it’s against AirBnB policy, they told me to cancel”. The host couldn’t cancel because they would get penalized by AirBnB for cancelling me last minute without due cause. A security deposit isn’t a good reason since it’s against AirBnB policy.
They also had the place listed for 6 people. Once I booked…they tell me “If I have more than 3 people then I have to pay $50 per person per night” and I would have to provide my credit card information so they can have it in file. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR CREDIT CARD INFO.
Luckily, AirBnB did a pretty good job enforcing their rules so I had no issue. The hosts called me non stop to get my credit card information. They eventually gave up when AirBnB reminded them what hosts can or can’t do.
The place was nice-ish. They post photos of different apartments in their listing so we didn’t even get the apartment we thought we were booking. The shower leaked. Door handles were broken. They literally left 1 coffee pod per person for 4 days. I guess that was their homely “touch”. I like the place but the hosts are terrible.
