I’m on travel over 100 days a year and as such know well about accommodations.
Yes, property is in a central location but that should not give it a free pass on providing a basic quality experience. The property is lacking in a few key areas which for price paid should be no brainers. First, the AC cannot cool the property and in fact we were unable to stay in “master BR” because AC did not work well enough to keep cool and room averaged 80 degrees. Unit also to hot to hang out in during the day. This is a loft as such other rooms are in shared spaces - bed in dining/living room area (actually stayed the coolest) another bed in a throughway to master bedroom with two nice baths nearby. Upstairs living area is nice though AC struggled to keep cool, the bedroom has no AC and is small - during the day it is ridiculously hot and at night with all windows open cooled some. AC upstairs stopped working on second day and Lorenzo said he would check
with owner about fixing. Never heard a peep again about it. Deck is lovely and great views.
Airbnb’s In my view should have the basic items to make it like living at home. This one does not. Towels: there was 1 per person (4) and no hand towels, bath mat nor wash towels. In kitchen the dishwasher does not work and when we notified them of such he never came to fix it but did say he would after we left. Wait?! What?! There was no dish soap in unit. There are no dish towels, sponges or hand towels or paper towels in kitchen. No wine opener. There are 8 plates, bowls, bread plates, glasses and coffee cups. Very small coffee pot 2 cup). Very limited kitchen supplies. One toilet paper roll per bathroom. No tissues. No hand soap.
It felt like a college apartment with how basic the supplies were - we laughed about it but also recognized it’s below par for what is being charged per night. I’d recommend an email to property manager outlining expectations and needs for the property before booking and/or arriving. I’d also be remiss to not share a review to help set expectations for travelers and possibly serve
as a nudge to property team get their game up and make some basic improvements. Location is good. Property needs some work to put it on par with location. Then it’s a four to five star. But for now it is a two to three star.
