I have been able to utilize AirB&Bs across the world. However, this has to be the most bizarre stay yet. The check in left me feeling a bit unsettled. I had to meet someone, who was not the host, in an underground parking garage. The parking garage did not have a walking entrance. Once at the parking garage, I was met by man, who didn’t introduce himself, who stated, “wait here.”After waiting for a few moments, he return with a cart and sheets to hide my luggage. It felt like he was sneaking us into the condominium as he covered our luggage ad he led us up to the condo. We were also told not to speak to staff at the front desk and only communicate with our host.
I was given a set of master keys with 3 electronic fobs, 3 keys, and approximately 12 key rings. You had to figure out which keys and key fobs worked with what feature of the building.
After being given instructions to essentially be silent and keep a noise level of zero, I found the space to be very unclean. I spent the better part of an hour cleaning the place with Clorox wipes. I’ll spare you some of the details, but the most disturbing part of the uncleanliness was the stained bed linens.
On the bright side…
The place has a killer view! The building itself is gorgeous. The location is great! I was also refunded my cleaning fee minus the taxes…go figure!
