I stayed for a bit less than 2 weeks, after a verbal dispute caused me to feel unsafe in my previous Airbnb.
My second reservation was cancelled by Airbnb (NOT Faces Oasis) due to backlash from the aforementioned dispute.
When Cassandra (live-in host) learned of this, she spent several hours on the phone and emailing Airbnb support to reinstate my reservation and vouch for my character. Those efforts were in vain, but that level of care and integrity for a virtual stranger is unheard of and not to be dismissed. She genuinely cares for and makes an effort to get to know her guests. I’m an autistic introvert, and prefer NOT to deal with people, but even I was taken in by Cassandra’s charismatic and caring attitude. The other guests seem to be a hodgepodge of man-children living in a group home for wayward adults, and Cassandra treats them like family.
I would have preferred space to keep my own food, but Cassandra is happy to cook shareable and delicious meals. And I mean DELICIOUS. I’m a professional chef and hard to impress.
All in all a good stay. I wish the pettiness of others hadn’t gotten me banned from the platform. But I really appreciate Cassandra doing her best to keep me from spending outside my budget for a hotel or worse, sleeping in the streets. Which at the time of this review is likey my fate, as Airbnb has yet to refund me for the stay they cancelled.
