We booked the stay because paid parking was available. There was a breakdown in communication on Susan’s end. She never reserved our parking spot for us and I didn’t learn about this until the day of check in. She offered to let us park for one night behind a garage in the alley but given the strict instructions about how to park and the possibility of getting towed we didn’t think it was worth the risk. The apartment overlooks the ocean which is a beautiful view however that’s all we found value in. The place was built easily before the 1950’s and understandably will have charm and be old. What caught us off guard was how poorly maintained this unit is for the high nightly rate. Both beds were super uncomfortable and old and springy. You can feel the springs under your back and you will sink in the middle. The futon bed and sofa in the living room were broken (you can feel the wood already broken as you sat down). The furniture also smelled. The pots and pans had metal exposed. We found bugs in the sugar jar. The bathroom towel holder fell on us during our stay (it was already barely hanging onto the wall). The towels were clean but so used and old. For the high nightly price, we would have rather stayed in a hotel and been more comfortable. Check out was interesting because the guest has to do a lot of the tidying including taking out the trash to the alley etc. However, the guest is charged a cleaning fee anyway. I am confused on all the check out rules if there is a cleaning fee anyway. My recommendation to the host is to replace both beds and the living room furniture ASAP to justify the high nightly rate. We don’t plan to stay at this Airbnb again in the future.
