The Airbnb was in a lovely location (great views, accessible to many shops). However, there were a couple issues with the listing and with host communication.
The house listing was inaccurate (we booked for a king and a queen, but there was only a queen and a full). The hot tub cover clips were broken, so it was very difficult for it to stay heated (and to my surprise, Esther showed up at the house with only 3 minutes notice late at night, which felt like an invasion of privacy to me - then I noticed later that a delivered host package had gone missing, which meant someone had entered the property without a heads up, which again was an intrusion of privacy during my stay). The house also didn't have hot water the first night (but luckily Esther came by to fix it).
It was also difficult communicating with Esther and Russ. I didn't receive checkin instructions, and I spent about 15 minutes on the driveway in the dark at night trying to reach them. The house is in the hills, so service is poor, and there was tons of back and forth where I kept asking them for instructions to be sent over the Airbnb inbox or email since I didn't receive their text instructions, but Russ kept repeating unhelpful things such as "It says delivered" and "I'm literally calling and it goes to vm" while I kept begging for them to send it through Airbnb or email. I was finally able to get a call from Esther, but both of them were standoffish in tone.
I had asked upon booking for a late checkout, and they were kind enough to accommodate. Russ said I could check out at 12:30pm, but then at 10:54am Esther texted me saying the cleaners had arrived. We didn't have any heads up, so we had to scramble to pack to let the cleaners start.
The stay was still pretty good since the backyard is lovely and the place was clean. With some better communication, I think this place would be a good choice!
