Maheshver was responsive and overall the place was clean.
We appreciated being able to check in early. However we had to end our stay after one night due to the broken bed frame (broken slats) and saggy old mattress in the suite. We hardly slept at all-it was awful. We contacted Maheshver the next morning and he offered to come by and put in supports for the bed but I wasn’t confident that was going to make much of a difference, given the mattress was also old and saggy. It seemed that Maheshver was well aware of the issue about the bed but had simply chosen not to repair it or get a new mattress and instead just continue renting out the suite as is.
We decided to cancel and stay at a hotel for the last 3 nights of our stay in Victoria and it was the best decision we made. While I’m thankful that Maheshver was polite and refunded our stay, we would’ve rather not had to go through that process in the first place. I’ve stayed in many AirBnB suites and this is the first time I’ve experienced an issue!
My strong suggestion is that if you’re considering staying in the suite that you confirm that the bed frame has been repaired/replaced and that the mattress has been replaced. It was otherwise a clean place and great location.
