The check-in interaction ruined our stay. If you can find another place in the area - don't waste your money on this one. Very nice location across from gorgeous old hotel (Ritchie Rich, anyone?!), but the old uncomfortable beds, cobwebs throughout the place and crusty towels are not worth the price. You might as well just get a room at the Langham, to be honest.
Host requested what time we would be arriving 24 hours before our arrival date. We told him we would be arriving at check-in time at 3 PM. Host was almost an hour late and was extremely rude about the fact that we brought 2 cars (no hello, welcome, etc. just "you brought two cars...").
If you have 2 cars - don't book this one apparently. There is nothing noted on the listing about the fact that you can only have 1 car, and the host claimed that "we had not been paying close enough attention to his instructions". I have all the receipts, screenshots, etc. and I can confidently say there is nothing noting such a request. And I don't enjoy being called a liar. Host that met us claimed it was noted on the Mandarin listing. We do not speak Mandarin, and it is not on the English listing. Host found a way for us to maintain 2 cars during our stay at no cost, but at that point we already wanted to leave for how brash and confrontational the check-in process was.
If you're bringing a dog - bring a scale to prove its weight or else you may also be called a liar like I was. Prior to booking the room for the night, we were very transparent about bringing a dog and the fact that he was 65 pounds. Upon arrival, the host made several rude comments about how "the dog was much larger than we said" and essentially implied that I lied about the dog. We were nothing but forthcoming and honest.
I've never been treated so rudely at an Air BnB or any hotel in my life. Not worth it merely for who you have to deal with.
