This Airbnb is everything you see listed and more. The house is very tastefully decorated and super clean which we really appreciated. The top floor has a beautiful view of the city and the couch is very comfy for a cozy night of movie watching on the large TV. We found the beds to be very comfortable and the kitchen well stocked as well. The location is also perfect…super close to tons of great restaurants and sights.
I would certainly recommend staying here but make sure you read the entire house rules and policies before you do so, so that you don’t run into any surprises. Even though we enjoyed our stay, we left with a sour taste in our mouth over their guest policy which we found to be a little bit unreasonable. I had a friend who I had not seen in years stop by for 1 hour (max) to say hi and that one hour cost me $30. She didn’t even have a glass of water or use the bathroom but I had to pay for her to visit to cover any wear and tear on the facility (per the house’s policy).
I should not have been surprised because the listing’s policies state there is a fee for guests and I should have inquired about the fee before booking or before telling my guest she could stop by…so I take the blame for not reading and asking for clarification. I just assumed a fee would incur if the guest was spending considerable time at the house (or staying overnight) but that was not the case.
It was even more disappointing because before we even arrived at the house for our stay, the host had already asked me for the favor of pulling out the garbage and yard debris cans (from previous guests and yard clean up). She said that if we didn’t want to do it, she would come do it herself but to be nice I happily agreed to do it so she didn’t have to venture out just for that. So when we were hit with the guest fee for the hour visit, we just felt taken advantage of and felt like we were being nickeled and dimed. Again, I take responsibility for this because the listing does mention a guest fee and I should’ve known better, but I felt like the host could’ve handled it better given I had agreed to take trash out that didn’t belong to us just to be nice.
Again, we were very happy with the house itself and would 100% recommend this house to anyone but make sure you read the very long house rules so that you don’t make the same mistake I made.
