Hello,
Overall, we were not very happy with our stay. The AirBnb was clean, however, there are some definite maintenance issues that need to be addressed. (1) The flooring is starting to separate at parts and (2) there were spider webs /dust in some of the higher portions the apartment. The host / company’s communication were excellent, no issues there.
They have a bunch of strict rules and additional stay requirements that take away from the casual experience. For example, they asked us to wash the towels and bed sheets before we left, however, there were no washer, dryer or hamper. Anyway, all the rules make more sense to me now knowing where it’s located. The location is really not a great part of Saint John. Yes, it is only a 7 - 10 minute walk to downtown, however, I wouldn’t want to be walking alone there after dark. In the middle of the night, we had some visitors (I’m assuming homeless) have a conservation outside the door under the buildings overhead cover for about an hour.
The parking area is hardly a parking area. It is really first come, first serve and just extra space space behind the building. There’s garbage and a lot of other vehicle traffic there. The photos on the add are perfectly accurate but they make it look a lot better than it actually is. The price was too expensive. I think we would have seen the value if this was priced at $100. At the price of $158 a night, I’d recommend the Hilton or Delta. We won’t be staying here again. Maybe it was our experience , however, we just don’t see the value in this stay.
Thank you,
Raphael
