Unfortunately I cannot recommend this unit due to the check in and out procedure.
I am travelling alone with 2 children and multiple pieces of luggage. The requirement is to pick up and drop off the key 10 minutes away at a corner shop that we could not even alight in front of.
I was forced, after a 14 hour flight, to leave all my luggage up the road with a driver who is a total stranger. My other options were to leave my children and all the baggage in the car with a stranger or to get a car to the key pick, alight with all the luggage up the road, drag it and two children to the corner shop, pick up the key and then drag it all back to stand on the corner waiting for a cab to take us 10 minutes up the road? Not possible.
I cannot imagine the difficulty involved if you took the train in from the airport.
The Airbnb write up states the key can be put through the letter box at the end. This is the information clients book with in good faith.
In actual fact the check in details were sent 48 hours before arrival from a management company Houst. They specify these different and very difficult procedures. With such late notice it is impossible to cancel the booking and find somewhere new.
They had asked me for some background information as to who would be staying so they were completely aware I was travelling an extremely long distance with 2 small children.
During my stay I repeatedly asked them to follow the procedure as specified on the Airbnb website but they refused to budge.
I will be making a formal complaint to Airbnb.
The unit is lovely but we will never stay there again.
