Dipshaka, the house manager was friendly and greeted me upon my arrival. The house had the feel of a quaint hostel. With a couple of full time residents and a couple of rooms that are rented for shorter term airbnb stays. The kitchen is separate from the living space. Each bedroom had a key coded lock on the door. The home is an older craftsman style that has been kept up and photographed very well. Since the photos were taken temporary walls have been put up where the dining table was to create another room. The house is situated on the corner of a somewhat well traveled street with single pain windows so it can get noisy with traffic and planes landing. Also the single pain Windows didn’t provide much insulation when it came to the warm days & cool night. My first night the room was too warm for the single fuzzy blanket I was given. Since it was past most people’s bed time I messaged asking for a top sheet. Dipskaka was quick to reply and got me a top sheet even though it was late. NOTE: At the time of my booking this listing had onsite parking listed as one of the amenities. Parking is street parking with both residential and businesses in the area providing no real reprieve from the hunt for a spot. I’m recovering from surgery so having a parking spot was important to me and I was disappointed to discover the listing had no onsite parking despite having been listed. There is laundry in the courtyard. It is shared by the complex and costs $1.25 to wash & $1.25 to dry. Someone mentioned earlier in a review that Gilbert, the owner is flexible. I unfortunately did not have a similar experience. I booked my stay on the Thursday night before my Monday night arrival. On Friday afternoon I got word that I had a work related appointment that would prevent me from coming until Tuesday. I called to ask if we could change the reservation to a Tuesday check in. I noted his strict reservation policy but hopped he could be flexible given the circumstances. His first response was, “Had you contacted me 7 days before...” “I made the booking last night,” I replied. Without going line by line of the conversation, the best he could do is refund me half of Monday’s reservation. At the time I was shocked that someone hosting someone in their home for a couple of days wouldn’t want to at least start the relationship off on a good foot. Life happens, it had been less than 24 hours since the booking and its for a Monday. Which up until the previous night had not been booked. But now that I’ve stayed there it is clear to me that Gilbert is in the Airbnb business for the money not the people, connections, or relationships that are what I have come to love this service for. Would I stay...
