The location is great, just south of Colorado and walkable to food places, coffee shops. The house was clean, the backyard fully fenced. The windows open to let air in (important and I will discuss why). The kitchen was fully equipped with a large refrigerator, stove, cooking utensils, pots/pans. There are 2 clean bathrooms (one of which doesn't really have a door). The washer/dryer are a nice bonus. The beds are reasonable comfortable with a wide range of pillows to fit any body type.
The air conditioning is locked at 78 degrees (you try to make it cooler and it says it is locked on the thermostat screen). Meaning, you the guest are locked out of changing the temperature. I inquired about it to the owner(s) (there seem to be multiple people on the owner text thread via Airbnb) - All I was told was that it wasn't possible to lower it and it was cool outside at night. Well, I don't prefer to sleep in 78 degree climates. True, it is cool at night but even at 2am it is still 76 degrees in the house with the windows fully open and fans on. I have small kids who were hot and didnt sleep well. I asked what was meant by it being 'not possible' and I was ignored. To the owners: if you are locking the thermostat because of environmental issues, then make a posting beside the thermostat or tell me - I would be all on board with that. With the way it was handled, it seems like you are trying to maximize profits by keeping utilities low. I am paying for your house to stay in, I should be allowed access to climate control. C'mon.
