Overall the experience was ok. I would love to say that it was great, however our particular listing, well it was not exactly like the pictures we saw. When we first arrived we noticed that there were several holes in the walls and ceiling. To our hosts credit they had been covered up, but only with blankets, paper plates, a sheet of paper, and partially with a board. I immediately notified Josh about the holes, and he said they had happened a while ago from previous guests and he hadn't had time to fix them. Then our second day there, my girlfriend was blow drying her hair and the power went out at 9 am. We called josh to let him know, and he said the city was conducting rolling blackouts. When we returned home that evening around 6 pm the power was still out, and other guests had already called josh. When he arrived he showed me where the breaker was and we saw that one had been tripped(at 9am). Also the windows didn't close all the way and some didn't open up at all. Overall we didn't expect much with our stay for the price point, but we did expect more than what our host delivered.
That being said we actually met with the corporate head quarters of airbnb and they not only have us a private tour of their headquarters, big also refunded our trip and gave us credit for our next trip to try the airbnb experience again.
So to recap, our airbnb stay was ok, but our airbnb experience was amazing.
