I cannot recommend staying with Noel. Although it is in a good location and a nice home, Noel made it very difficult for me to enjoy my stay. He seemed to be eternally in a bad mood, and his listing is not accurate. Contrary to what is listed on Airbnb, I learned that breakfast is really not provided, you must pay for my own soap, the kitchen is not for guest use other than breakfast, and Wi-Fi service is not reliable. When I brought these issues up to the Noel he said, and I quote, “If you don’t like it you can leave, and I will refund your money.” I spoke with Airbnb during my stay, and they suggested I find another place, but said they had no power to enforce any refund, so I chose to stay, given my lack of trust in Noel.
Noel was upset when he discovered a coffee spill underneath a kitchen tray that I had not noticed, yet he left trash on the kitchen cutting board for a day, on the kitchen floor, and dirty dishes in the bathtub that I had to remove it in order to use. And when I offered him a beer, to try to break through his grumpiness, he lost his temper again.
As an guest, I am looking to stay at a place where I can relax and that I feel welcomed. From my experience, this is not such a place.
