Pros: beautiful view, good location (restaurants, coffee shops, shopping, etc... all within a short walking distance), nice building, free parking, hottub/gym/pool, bottle of wine and water provided, communication with host was easy (and in abundance).
Cons:
-the check-in proces - host wanted to meet but with traffic we arrived later than expected. Host sent short videos on how to do everything, including walking in the building, parking, pushing buttons in elevator, and how to use coffee maker. This was not convenient, especially when we had already arrived and trying to park by video instructions. It would have been easier to have written instructions given prior, including the condo number and parking spot number instead of needing to watch the video until the end. Even checking out, there were no instructions on the sheet provided in the condo and I had to reach out to the host to provide details which would have been helpful prior to us leaving. Interesting that we had step-by-step video instructions for the coffee maker but not one instruction on checking out or what to do with garbage until I texted him. He states "I didn't know when you where leaving." No one needs to know, that's why it's an Airbnb, just provide instructions.
-there was hair throughout the bathroom that was not ours. Not a little either, enough that I had to sweep it up. I think we left the condo cleaner than when we arrived.
-listing said pots, pans, cooking utensils, oil, salt&pepper - none of these things were in the condo. I had to text to find out that they were still in bags in the cupboard. And it was only a baking sheet and serving utensils. Then was given a warning on how to cook on the glass top stove. I actually went to the dollar store to buy a cheap pan so we could cook eggs. There was no garbage can and no garbage bags.
-listing advertises pool/gym/hottub - had to text host on location of these and then was told to be discreet because condo doesn't allow Airbnb guests to use. While I understand this, it should have been transparent on listing.
