Clean and small Airbnb a few blocks from the beach. Angel's communicates quickly. But there were TWO main issues:
1. Parking is HORRIBLE. Street parking only. I was allowed to park in the back (because of the issue I'll explain next), but the spot was so incredibly narrow, I had to squeeze in and out of my car literally. I honestly did not want to park in the spot they offered because of the spacing issue, but parking was so incredibly hard to find in the evening after a long night, I reluctantly squeezed in and out of that parking space with great difficulty.
2. When I arrived to check-in, there was an issue accessing the AirBNB through the front entrance due to wet cement. So, I was greeted by a man who walked me to the back and let me in. He knew the code to the AirBNB, opened the door, etc. Initially, I didn't know this man and found it nerve-wracking as a single woman that someone I didn't know knew the code to where I was staying, and the host hadn't given a heads up about the access issue. After reaching out to the host to inquire, I later found out the person who let me in was his brother. The entire situation still left me uncomfortable, wondering who else knew the code to the Airbnb. MAJOR FLAG for single women. I felt the need to find a way to block the front door to be alerted if someone walked in the Airbnb while I was asleep. Even if other people know the code, you definitely don't want to know about it. It's why hotels change key codes with every guest. Safety first!
Tips to host:
A. For safety, change the code to the Airbnb regularly.
B. Communicate any last-minute changes with guests, especially when it comes to people letting them inside the apartment.
