Within 24 hours of booking this stay, I found that there is no stovetop in the kitchen and I l requested to cancel the booking within 24 hours of booking it but that was denied by the owners and Airbnb did not help. I had booked a month long stay cuz I was also doing a virtual meditation retreat that needed me to eat home cooked food and without a stovetop, it became very hard. I bought an insta pot and I had to make a lot of compromises on my stay due to not having a full kitchen. (Kitchen appears as an amenity- I had filtered on ‘kitchen’ and there is a small mention of no stovetop deep in the description which I missed so ack my mistake there but expected Airbnb to help given it was hardly within 24 hours of booking)
Pros:
Loved the location of the place. The furniture is decent. Cleaning supplies were available. Check-in and check-out was hassle free. Dan kept checking on me every few days.
Cons:
For some reason, the place smelled like it was closed for a long time when I came in. I had to buy room fresheners and linen fresheners. The linens felt unclean and I had itching all over my body so had to get my own small blanket. The sofa felt unclean to sit on and I had to basically put a shawl on it before sitting. I was barely able to sleep any nights I lived there. I saw a medium sized spider in the sink on the day I arrived.
I was required to pay $10 for one load of laundry and the owners kept following up on the $10 as though I had no intention of paying it to the extent that they involved Airbnb in it. I had clearly communicated that I wasn’t able to see the option to pay on my version of the app.
Despite all the above, I kept my cool, kept the place clean and did the best of what I could with whatever was available. I would not recommend the stay here, I was influenced by the large number of positive reviews and it’s an ‘okay’ place to live for few days def not for a month.
