When it comes to cleanliness, the place is indeed sparkling clean and shiny. It is really modern and well thought out. Even I got inspired on how to arrange my next living space, especially the kitchen.
Towels... were everywhere! 2 in the kitchen, 3 in the bathroom, of different sizes and purpose, and there's a dedicated shelf next to the bathroom for all extra towels, paper towel, toilet paper, and blow dryer. All of which were properly labeled with the quantity for each of them.
Honestly I have no complaint when it comes to the arrangement of the space itself.
My only issues are the parking and the Wifi.
It is unclear whether the parking is for dedicated for guest or not, as I later learned, it's free for all, first served first arrived, but it's not mentioned clearly in the listing. It says you can park in front of the house.
In the unit, there is a welcoming sheet that says that we can park on the street and on which side depending on the day of the week.
It was quite irritating when I parked my car, had to run a some errand, came back and saw a car parked in my space. The host was fortunately kind enough to move his car so I could park. However, I had to message and then call him as he doesn't really respond quick enough and doesn't explain clearly.
The other thing was the not updated WiFi network name and password in the listing. I had to spend a bit of time getting the WiFi to work with him. It worked fortunately. However, this should be updated, because even the welcoming sheet inside the unit on a little table under the Apple TV had an outdated Wifi name and password. There was however a little paper on the corner of the table with the right network and password written by hand, but was not noticeable as it was overshadowed by the official welcoming sheet.
This comes to my next point: communication.
The host doesn't respond quick enough and if he does, it's very short and I as guest feel left alone. The fact that I had to call to solve the little issues says something
The host however was very pleasant after I met him, but I feel these issues can be avoided with better description.
The host also took a very long time to respond after the check-out after I shared with him that I accidently let one of his flower vase drop and hit the table and that I was ready to compensate with a money transfer.
The host did respond by saying everything is okay and no payment is necessary, but the time I had to wait made me feel hanging for an answer wasn't pleasant.
I am also under the impression that host become less dedicated to their guest after having some success with their AirBnB unit.
One last detail I should point out is that this is a basement. I didn't have a good night of sleep as I felt cold even with the windows shut off and the heat set to 24 degrees celsius, and this was in Spring in the end of May. At my place, living on the first floor and I sleep on the floor, I do not have this problem. I had to sleep on the bed this time and even then I was cold to the point I started having flu-like symptoms such as coughing.
Overall, honestly, the WiFi and parking are minor issues compared to the cold and humid feeling, but considering the price I paid, I was not satisfied. I would maybe come back if the parking was dedicated to guests during their stay, but the cold issue is deal breaker for me. I didn't read other reviews saying so, however I value being honest about my experience.
