I had a 3 night stay at Adeline’s Airbnb. The initial communication was great and the check in was efficient. We sent her a text when we were leaving the airport and her husband was able to check us into the unit.
When we arrived at the Airbnb, it was very hot. It was about 85 degrees (29 C) outside and only slightly cooler inside. The air conditioner had an error code. We reached out to the host around 5pm and they said they would look into it. We did not hear back, so we thought everything was fixed. When we came back to the Airbnb around 10pm, it was very hot inside.
We messaged the host, he came over tinkered with the menus and explained that the air con is broken and there’s nothing he could do. Really wish we would have known this at 5pm so we can find alternative accommodations. Instead, the host did not say anything we had little choice at 11pm.
The host promised they would look into it first thing in the morning. Next day by noon, we did not hear back from the host and reached out to Airbnb support. They said the host promised a technician would come and fix everything at 2:30pm. We ended up cancelling a winery tour to coordinate between the host and Airbnb and look for alternative accommodations (which are really expensive when you book the day of).
At 2:30pm, the host informed us that they cannot diagnose the problem until the next day and a full repair would be even longer. At that point we worked with Airbnb to find alternative accommodations.
The unit is on the top floor of a small apartment building. It’s connected to the host’s main house via a hallway. It’s your private space, but it’s more similar to a hotel room than your own apartment.
The space is fairly small, we had two suitcases and we ended up putting one of the suitcases in the closet. The pictures look slightly bigger than the actual space.
Prior to arrival, we read a few negative reviews about the bed. The bed is a Murphy bed. It sits on top of a very industrial frame and very solid slats. It is very strong and will not break. The bed is very noisy, the slightest movement will cause it to creak. The bed itself is soft, but not crazy soft, you end up hitting the slats underneath.
The shower clogs very easily. After a 5 minute shower, the floor mat was soaked and there was water dripping into the bedroom. We had to clean and wipe with a towel.
The location is fantastic. It’s right next to the tourism office and also at the beginning of the pedestrian street.
