This is an affordable Airbnb room w/a very compact attached bathroom on the 13th floor of a bldg. Starbucks is on the ground flr.
As I'm traveling & don't have a phone in Taiwan, I informed the host that I wd have no access 2 my phone or WiFi access or communication apps once I am not at my previous accommodation.
For check-in, I had 2 meet the host in front a 7-11. I arrived & never saw anyone resembling someone waiting 2 meet an Airbnb guest. I then got online by sharing my cousin's phone's hot line. Had my cousin not been there, I wd not have had phone or app access. It turned out that the host sent someone else who was intently staring at his phone the whole time waiting 4 a message of something like, I'm here, from me. It was exceedingly frustrating 2 not connect for several long minutes bc the host was not actively looking for me. The check-in process of mtg in front of 7-11 was extremely unsatisfactory. For check out, you have 2 take out the garbage & take a photo of the keys.
