The check-in process did not go smoothly. We arrived 15 minutes early understanding we might have to wait until 3pm to access our parking spots and the Airbnb itself so it was no surprise when we saw both spots occupied.
When the cars hadn’t been moved by 3pm, we went upstairs to check-in/drop our bags. We got to the door and found an electrical saw on the ground. Entering the apartment confused, we asked if anyone was there. We got a response.
A guy came out of the room saying he needed 20 more minutes to finish building the bed. BUILDING THE BED?! Anyways I went back outside because my brother stayed back in case we needed to move our cars. We parked in another tenants parking spot while we unloaded because street parking was nearly impossible to come by.
I got back to the car to find a women yelling at my brother as he was moving the car. I apologized to the women as well, and I fully understand why she would be frustrated. The whole situation could have been avoided if I had been made aware that there was construction going on in the apartment and there was a possibility of it not finishing on time.
We were finally able to settle in nearly 45 minutes after check-in. The inside of the Airbnb itself is nice and spacious. Perfect for what we needed - an affordable place to sleep close to downtown.
