First, the space was great for big group because the common area is very open and good at making everyone feel included. There were plenty of beds for big groups and bathrooms so we didn't have to wait long for everyone to get ready in the mornings. The response time from Nick was also very quick and he was very accommodating to our check-in & check-out times so you don't have to wait long for a response.
Unfortunately, maybe I missed the fine print, but AC is only available upon request so don't stay here if the weather is going to be unbearably hot. The AC is charged extra on top of the expensive fee of staying here depending on how cold and how long you want the AC to be turned on. Luckily the weather was great and the house stayed cool during our stay so we didn't need the AC.
One of the main things that bothered me was the charge of a cleaning fee, even though we were asked to empty the trash bins, clean out the dishwasher and strip the linens from the beds. Maybe it was because we asked for a 12pm checkout time rather than 10am, however, these tasks seem a part of cleaning and if we are already being charged a high cleaning fee, we shouldn't have to do that and be expected to check out at a specific time. Regardless if we had been asked to do the above tasks, we did clean up after ourselves and swept the floors clean. Without the additional fees and taxes, the price was very affordable, but the additional $250 cleaning fee and $250 occupancy tasks bumped the Airbnb cost to a crazy $1,540 for 2 nights instead of just $1000.
The place was great but the costs was so extravagant for the short stay. The cleaning fee shouldn't be so high if part of the cleaning task is being asked of the guests to complete.
