So many rules. The apt itself is fine, though you can hear every little noise from surrounding units.
I’ve stayed in airBnBs all over the world and generally I feel like hosts are beyond welcoming and helpful.
Here I was traveling with my 7 yo daughter and 75 yo mother and felt like I was being treated like a suspected criminal from the moment I booked.
Be sure you read the house rules carefully and are comfortable with them, including a background check. Even though my ID is verified with AirBnB, before I was given check in instructions, I was required to provide names and birthdates of all of us, a copy of my ID and fulfill this demeaning gem of a request:
“A clear photo of you holding your driver's license or passport next to your face, with your head and shoulders visible. We should be able to clearly see your face: please do not wear any hat or sunglasses. If possible, include your full arm in the photo. This lets us verify that your license or ID is in your possession.”
While communication was always cordial and I think the owner has a good property, I might suggest he consider a management company/procedures that focus more on guest experience rather than jumping though hoops.
