Nicole is a great host! The location is perfect and the unit is very clean. Bed and linens were great quality and toiletries etc were provided and in good condition. Finding good quality linens at an AirBNB is such a rarity it seems, so that was a major positive. So all the big items were checked and I would absolutely stay there again but do think there is some room for improvement.
My issues:
-not completely remodeled (paint and floors only) like listing noted.
- would have liked the listing to be genuine and clearly call out lack of AC. This is partially on me for not making sure it says it but it’s 2022 AC should be a given anywhere near a beach. It felt dishonest to not call it out and instead just omit it. AC wasn’t a necessity but with almost no windows to use (screens on windows had massive holes in them) and there is only one and I couldn’t reach it in the bedroom, airflow was impossible.
-no coffee in the unit (whole bean bag but no grinder) again this should be a given
-tv only in living room. Not a deal breaker by any means but a 40inch tv is like $200, and a rental feels cheap when the owner doesn’t bother with this type of amenity
This may sound harsh and 3 years ago I wouldn’t have had those notes but given that these rentals are run as pure businesses these days I think they should be judged accordingly.
