Book with caution. This space had a few positive features, like being centrally located and having a modern, tidy appearance with all the amenities as advertised. Check-in instructions were very clear and helpful; the host even sent pictures so there was no confusion.
That being said, we encountered a couple of issues. The first item to note is that the contact through airbnb is a 3rd party person that communicates with the owner and it seemed as if he was only available during office hours and through the airbnb messaging system. He was very nice when we did need speak.
For checkin, we were instructed to retrieve the key from the lock box. Our flight came in very late in the evening and upon arrival, the key was not in the lock box. We attempted to contact the host, both by airbnb messaging and by the phone number given to us to use but they were not available. We ended up having to find and stay at a nearby hotel instead for the night, which was a much higher cost. Though we tried again to message and call the host first thing the following morning, we did not receive contact from them until midmorning. The host was apologetic and worked with the owners to compensate that night stay and, after us asking, agreed to also compensate us for a longer taxi ride we had scheduled for the day.
After gaining access to the unit, we immediately noticed the bathroom had a very strong urine odor. We were told this was attributed to the high temperatures and to keep a window open (although the bathroom itself does not have one). After running the shower, the smell got better but it did remain during our stay.
Lastly, the night we were able to actually stay in the rental as planned, we had an unexpected intruder. A man entered around 4:45am while we were sleeping by use of his own key and was clearly as alarmed to find us as we were to see him. He did apologize and leave promptly but safety and privacy should not be a concern when booking a rental with airbnb.
