CHECK IN: Parking is located behind the building and costed me 20$ per day (the host told me $15) the check in is a bit complicated. Park the car, walk to the building, punch inside. Door code, unlock a mailbox with a code, lock mailbox. Use fob to enter next door. Then key to enter condo. It was all a bit more then I’m used to with an Airbnb.
THE SPACE: The condo is modern and 7/10 clean. coffee table was broken, the couch seems like it was broken and reinforced with plywood? Extremely hard when you sit and very creaky if you shift slightly. large stain on dinning table and some dirty footprints on the floor. Overall mostly clean. Beds were very comfy and linens were all very clean. No privacy in one bedroom. No curtain and the window is directly in front of the bed and faces a very close apartment building, so you have to keep the lights off when you’re in the room if it’s dark. Shower was very nice. Finishes are all very beautiful and modern in the condo.
LOCATION: it’s in a good location close to shopping and restaurants. Is located in China town which I didn’t understand from the listing. It’s a small street with shops on both sides that is mostly for pedestrian traffic
HOST: The host was quick to respond, but I didn’t like that she texted me at midnight and woke me up, with a messaging sayinf “I hope you enjoyed your stay make sure you vacate exactly at 11am or before” kind of rude and I felt pushed to leave. (This was while I was waiting for her to tell me if she could give us a late check out. So rather than deciding on it she sent me this text in the middle of the night. The host initially said the late check out is 100% upto the cleaning company to decide which doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. We checked in very late in the evening and nobody reserved the condo for the next day. We were in the condo for only about 11 hours in total and paid $193 plus $20 for parking.
It wasn’t a horrible experience, but I wouldn’t stay again.
