Overall, the place is as advertised. It was clean and the view was fantastic.
It would have been perfect except for one MAJOR issue that I want to make sure fellow travelers are aware of so they do not share the same experience my wife and I had.
My only (but major) complaint is due to not having an A/C made available to us. The room was extremely hot when we arrived around 3 pm. It was mid-October with outside temps in the upper 70's, and with this room being upstairs with the sun shining directly into the windows, it was like being in a greenhouse.
Before we started unpacking, we started searching for the A/C because it said on AirBnB that this stay has air conditioning. To our dismay, we realized a remote was required to operate it.... and it was not in the room. We reviewed the host's check-in instructions and saw that it said the A/C remote is only available in the summer.
We initially tried to deal with it by opening the windows that first evening to try and cool it off, but between the cigarette smoke from the restaurant below and the invading mosquitos, we had to quickly shut them. I tried to kill as many mosquitos as possible before bed, but there were just too many to find them all. Needless to say, we got very little sleep that first night and we woke up with over thirty mosquito bites between the two of us. (I am still itching as I write this a week later.)
But even without the cigarette smoke and mosquitos, I can't help but feel mislead. This was not a cheap lodging, and it advertised A/C on the website...not A/C only available in the hot summer months.
I will state that the next day, when I requested the remote to the A/C, it was delivered promptly.... but I feel that if a lodging is advertising A/C, it needs to be available to the guest upon arrival. They should not have to request it and then wait until the next day for it to be made available.
I hope that in the future the host will change this strategy of taking the A/C controls away unless they are requested, because in trying to save a couple of dollars this host ruined what otherwise would have been a great place with a great location.
