I don’t use to writing a review about my stay,even at the hotel services but in this case i need to tell the truth about my stay,
Before i make a my review, i need to say that every guest who stay at Russell’s place may or may not having a good stay,but in my case i was definitely having a really bad and uncomfortable stay/sleep
1st of all,
The bathroom shower was a kind of small bathtub with a small curtain with no glassdoor, and everytime when you took a shower even with the curtain inside of the bathtub,after the shower there will be always a water spilled on the bathroom floor, and the worst part is, the host said there’s a water dripping into the dining room downstair(1st floor), and his blaming me as guest just because i took a shower in a shower bathroom which is really non-sense, how could me as guest know anything about his place? how could i know when is the last time he did the general check-up? how could i know when is the last time he did the general cleaning? when its the last time his checking the water pipe or anything?
But one thing for sure that i know is his place is a somekind of oldtown house.
2nd of all,
I stay there for 10 nights, but most of every night i could smell the Weed Smoke in his entire place(1st and 2nd floor), causing me a sore throat, as i can’t stand smoking and smoker.
On his airbnb house rule, he said No Smoking allowed but it was totally different from what i experienced,
and when i was checking-in, he even did not mention anything about weed smoker.
3rd of all,
There’s a another person living with him,as i did not expected.
Even on his airbnb page, he did not even mention it.
Don’t get me wrong, i don’t mind at all, but for safety reason, it will be better if the host could explain anything on his airbnb page, because some guest wanted to know before they make a booking on how many people stay in one roof.
4th of all,
The Parking was a street side parking and it was really frustrated,
I know i read some of his guest review and said that the parking was really easy, but in my case was really hard. most of every morning, when i woke up and drove to Starbucks nearby and sat by the park nearby for an hour or so, and by the time i drove back around noon time, then that time was a hardest time to get a parking space,ZERO chance to get a parking space and i had to park my car in one hour limit time parking lot, and if the next day was a Street Cleaning day then the night before was a real Nightmare, every parking space was occupied then you gotta have to park across the street when the next morning was street cleaning day, just imagine how frustrated you gotta have to wake up before 10AM on your vacation day, and move you car, if there’s a parking space available but i saw none of parking space available that morning.
Again, it will be better for future guest if the host could mention about the parking detail on his airbnb page.
5th of all,
The location of his townhouse was the first row of the building, so was the Guest(airbnb) room, i am a light sleeper, i could hear every voice coming from the street every single morning, when the Trash Truck was coming then its a nightmare, and also the neighbors gardener was a nightmare too, if you a light sleeper then this place its not for you.
6th of all,
The AC was off for my entire stay, the host mentioned about the AC on his Airbnb page and i thought it will be ON for the hot days of Cali as the host stated, but apparently it was not ON, during the day it was really hot and humid even with the windows open and when i asked him about the AC, the only answer that i got was” there’s a Small Fan inside of your room”, but i don’t want a Small Fan, i want an AC,
i even told him that i am allergic with Fan, but he did not care at all.
this is my honest review, but I believe for sure, some people had a good stay but some people was not.
It was my bad/uncomfortable/disappointing stay of 2019.
