Overall, I think this place was okay. It wasn't the greatest, but it also wasn't bad. I kind of expected a little more in terms of quality especially out of an Airbnb Plus listing. The Host(s) were super attentive and welcoming from the beginning and really made me feel at ease. However, it almost seemed like as my stay progressed, they lost a little of that warmth and positivity.
One key issue that I had upon checking in was the poorly constructed lock system. Even with the lock securely in place, the door jiggled from both the inside and outside, which made me question my safety only mildly. It seems as though a regular door with a typical lock would have done a better job than the one that is currently in place. I had messaged the host about this early on but was told that it was just the wind. The wind wasn't the issue.
There was a faint smell of smoke upon entering and as I explored each room, it became clear to me that the entire place was in need of maintenance and a deep clean. In the age of a Pandemic especially, one would expect a place to be close to spotless and sanitized, ensuring that the health and safety is of the utmost priority. But, when you find marks on the wall, splats of stains on the ceiling, slightly dirty dishes, and toilet roll holders falling off the wall, it's honestly a bit concerning. Although the place had all the amenities, the attention to detail and placement of everything seemed not as thought out.
I really wanted to like this place a lot, but I can't pretend and say that I enjoyed it fully when I didn't. I hope this feedback helps both the host and future guests of this listing.
Also, it should be noted that the place is conjoined with another one of their listings (same building) and if you're sensitive to sound, you could easily hear through the walls into the other listing, given there is another guest staying there.
