Me and my husband stayed in the studio room for 2 nights in Feb 2022 and here is our experience and why we wouldn't come back:
I was first shocked of the 100$ cleaning fee because it's very high just for a small tiny studio but as a host myself I thought to myself it's better to have a clean room, to my surprise when I arrived nothing seemed cleaned, I had to take out my lysol spray and disinfect everything. I contacted the host and Richard came right away to fix the situation, he explained why there was that mistake and while we left for a bit he had it cleaned and brought us a bottle of wine.
-WHAT WE WISH WE KNEW:
1.Anything that is spoken outside the room you hear every word and noise. if youre noise sensitive you wont like it.
2.There is also a window in the room that shows the staircase of the building, if youre sleeping and someone comes in the building and turns on that light , your whole room will light up.
3. There is a heater right behind your head where the bed is placed so in winter your head will get very hot.
4. it's an old building and it has old windows so at night when it was windy the windows behind us were making so much noise we couldn't sleep.
-the next night they had family over and Richard told me about it, which is totally fine we were expecting to hear foot steps but I just wish they were more quiet coming up the stairs to bring their things, the girls were laughing and talking so loud, they literally stood in front of their door which is facing ours and just having a conversation. it felt as no one took in consideration that there were guests sleeping at 1 am.
WHAT WE LIKED:
1. The location, if you have a car you can to anywhere easily.
2. That there was a parking spot.
What we recommend to the hosts:
-to message their guests when they check out. After that horrible sleep we had they never messaged us back.
Best of luck, we really wanted to enjoy our stay more but I guess it wasn't a good timing for you to host.
