The place is beautifully designed. We were all ready to give this place a 5-star review.
Unfortunately, a couple hours after we checked out, the host falsely accused us of stealing mini shampoo bottles and toilet paper. I was completely shocked. I worked really hard with the host to try to see if there was some kind of misunderstanding, but it became clear as the conversation went on that we were being purposefully framed.
Luckily my husband is a landlord and always takes videos after leaving a space. We had proof that we did nothing wrong and that we were being set up. The host was not apologetic at all. I’ve stayed in a ton of Airbnbs and am a host myself, and my conversation with the host was one of the most bizarre experiences I’ve had. They just refused to admit that there might have been something wrong on their end.
As a host, I would always give my guests the benefit of the doubt before making accusations.
I really would have liked to stay here again, but clearly the host is suspicious of guests and I wouldn’t feel comfortable.
A few other details:
1. The Internet is weak. We needed to video conference for work but it was tough due to unpredictable connection. Streaming was choppy.
2. There are no dressers or closets. Each room has a only luggage rack and 3 small mounts for hanging.
3. Skylights in the bedrooms mean that light comes in, so if you need darkness to sleep, you’ll be up when the sun comes up (or bring a face mask.)
4. The “dedicated workspace” is a desk in the living room, so it’s not private if you need that.
Otherwise, they clearly put a lot of effort into making it look beautiful.
