The place was just ok. I wouldn’t say it was something amazingly beautiful or “wow”. And I can mention everything we didn’t like.
1. To begin with, since I’ve been a host at Miami, I never charged a guest if they wanted to bring me their luggage like an hour or two earlier. Early check-in is a different thing. Luggage doesn’t bother anyone. So I’ve learnt to appreciate all the hosts that do not charge to keep your luggage for a couple of hours. However, I recognize the host’s right to ask for extra money, but I do not appreciate it and makes me feel that the host desperately tries to find a way to earn extra money.
2. The place seems in the photos much sunnier than it actually is. Of course the professional photos of the listing makes it look with more light.
3. There were NOT extra clean towels and bed sheets as the hosts stated at the listing.
4. There was NOT body soap at all. Only shampoo and hand soap.
5. The chairs at the photos of the listing seem luxurious and comfy, the round table seems well taken care of with a tablecloth. In reality we found some low quality, cheap, plastic and not very comfy chairs and a square table with no tablecloth. I understand that the host can occasionally change furniture and decorations and thus the gust will see a different thing than the original photoshoot, but it’s their obligation to substitute the changed stuff with same or better quality and not worse.
6. The listing says there is a Coffee maker espresso machine. We didn’t found any “machine”, just an old, dirty pot.
7. The listing also says there’s a kettle. The lack of an espresso coffee machine made our breakfast rough since we have counted on our morning coffee.
8. We were not very big fans of the “in-closet kitchen” but it was exactly as stated and shown at the photos, a draft project, though.
9. We indeed found a piece of information about the place and the area. However, the English was confusing, there were no restaurant suggestions as it is stated at the listing and the host wrote in a not very polite way not to waste power/electricity or leave the A/C and the lights on otherwise we will get a bad review.
10. Plus, besides the fact that we paid an extra amount of money for the cleaning fee, the information paper that the host left for us was indicating to gather all of our trash from the bins of the kitchen and the bathroom and was informing us where the trash bin is and on which street, in order to go ourselves and throw them away.
11. We needed to hang out groceries and shopping bags from the supermarket because there were many ants and we didn’t want them to reach out food. We also found ants at the bathroom.
12. Lastly, the listing says that one dinner is offered by the host. We never had that dinner! So it would be nice, if the host removes that comment!
Overall, as I said, it was just ok. We weren’t that impressed and we definitely wouldn’t come back at this place again. We didn’t have the chance to meet our host in person, so all the communication was online.
