As an avid Airbnb user and host, who feels strongly about the mission of Airbnb, to connect travelers to local hosts the corporate nature of this rental is antiethical to the Airbnb movement.
In contrast to the friendly Kiwis who had greeted us at the previous Airbnbs we have stayed in, here we were meet with a key box and list of rules which included limits on the wifi (not stated in the advertisement), a list of places where you could resupply your own toilet paper and trash bags, and to not cook fish or curries (which seems cultural insensitive). We were also told we would be charged extra for every 20 mins we stayed after the 10 am check out. The list of rules which were lengthy with many threats for additional charges if not followed felt unwelcoming.
The corporate nature of this Airbnb was evident. Yes, the view is good and the location close to Queenstown. However, as someone committed to keeping the genuine Airbnb community strong I would encourage future renters to favor the homes of friendly and welcoming locals over apartments run by corporations, the very establishments Airbnb was created to provide alternatives for travelers seeking a more local experience.
Also, not providing coffee is breaking the golden rule Airbnb hosting.
