With the price of this place being high and the location being a 5 star and the photos looking spectacular we expected a 5 star experience. However it was far less. We got a little nervous by the little reviews this place has and some reviews being not the best. This location is a 5 star. And the place does have a lot of space.
However, there is currently construction being done on the road that is loud. The host Andrea will not he contacting you, I think it’s through a third part organization as we had a mix of people contacting us and greeting us at the door. The response times are slow, before the check in it took 3 days to get a response. We had arranged a check in a 2pm and the host arrived 40 min late. I had to message them again after 20 min of waiting and then they sent someone. Then inside the place it is very scratched up. Walls are scratched and look dirty because of it, cabinets are very scratched. There is only a small AC unit that is a bit old now and had a part on the bottom missing and looks a bit dirty. The photos that you see on the listing are probably from when they first listed it, it looks dated now. The photos also make the place look very bright and homie, it’s actually much darker with few lights. We tried to start the washer machine for clothes but couldn’t start it and tried everything. They didn’t respond to my message for 2 hours and then couldn’t send somebody to show us how it worked until 7 pm. My thoughts are the washer didn’t work. The washer area also smells like old sweat, probably due to the use it receives.
All in all we expected more from this place and what we paid. The photos don’t resemble the actual condition the place is in and it doesn’t feel homie because the actual host/owner isn’t in contact with you. There are hotels on Hotwire that are much better for the same price that are in the same location. This my honest opinion in the review and I hope this can help people decide.
P.S. they don’t turn the AC on before like other Airbnb’s that are 5 star, so it’s hot before you get in. And the AC unit in the upstairs probably can’t cool the entire place. Lastly the bed is also uncomfortable and very low to the ground.
