Learned some lessons on this trip. There was construction on the street which I was notified of 72 hours ahead of time. So, yes, I was notified and given a heads up. One thing I'll acknowledge is I could have asked more specifically what the construction looked like or how that affected the experience of the airbnb. I think I got a really unlucky day where the construction was right in front of the airbnb. It was mindsplitting with the vibrations of jackhammers going for gold.
Why the missing star? I was given 72hrs notice heads up about the construction. The posted signs had been up for at least a week before and construction or whoever are usually in contact with the households that will be affected. That week heads up would've been much appreciated as it's hard to find a airbnb for 2 guests and a pet within 72hrs. A discount wasn't offered until I asked for a refund because my experience was greatly impacted and I wasn't trying to pay the standard price for an experience that wasn't standard.
Minor thing that was slightly annoying was not having a place to put bottles or cans, basically recycling. I know it's a small space but that would have been nice to have.
Angela was very responsive and was able to accommodate in the end but some upfront timeline communication about the construction would have shifted the experience or made sure I cancelled. I DID say I would work around it and that was my bad, I could have asked how it affected the stay. It was also my naivety around thinking that it wouldn't be that bad. Things I failed to take into account on my end was that because the parking was impacted, the closest spots at the time of my arrival were limited to some typical SF hills which I can typically manage with my disability but was difficult with my luggage and not wanting it to sit in the car, waiting to be broken into.
I can't write anymore, there were things I could've done, there were things she could've done, we had misses in communications, abilities and expectations. Lessons learned. I have no ill will, I just like to provide feedback and I, myself am open to whatever feedback is on the other side of this because I believe that's how we can be in better community.
