My initial thoughts checking in to this airbnb was that the floors needed vacuuming and that the inside was simple but aesthetically pleasing and had everything I needed for a wedding party (including a couple of groomsmen and my maid of honor). Multiple guests also mentioned that the floors seemed to need a vacuum/sweep but we all had a good night's sleep the day before the wedding.
Host response time was prompt enough and check-in was easy..We had asked the host for an earlier check-in but due to an issue with the previous airbnb guest(s), there had to be emergency plumbing/sewage repair done up until our check-in time. Therefore, the exterior astroturf was dug up and looked a little wary with all the caution tape. This was the case until the next morning. Now, I was using the airbnb as a get ready space for my bridal party 9 am - 1 pm. It was not mentioned that the water was going to be shut off at this time when the workers would be working outside. The workers also kept knocking at the door to warn us about the water (not to flush, don't use the sink, etc) and there was some construction noise, which was a little disruptive to our otherwise, peaceful morning of hair & make-up prep. In hindsight, maybe I could have emphasized to the host that bridal prep was to occur that morning and to potentially schedule repairs after our departure. The good: My 6 bridesmaids, maid of honor and mothers of the bride and groom had plenty of space to get ready and played relaxing coffee shop music on the TV to help us achieve some calm before the wedding day. The workers finished their work by 11 am so my guests were able to use the restroom before leaving for the wedding venue but a heads up, if available would have gone a long way.
I followed up with the host afterwards and it seems that the host was not told that the water would be shut off on the second day/that morning. An unfortunate miscommunication. There was also an incident with one of the bathroom doors (not allowing it to close) that the host asked about initially, which was also due to the previous airbnb guests? Again, the host's communication was prompt but she also came on a little defensive and spammed my inbox with messages proving that the workers didn't tell her about the water. I was trying my best to enjoy the day after the wedding so had to stop looking at the messages. Her tone was since and apologetic at the end.
Overall, the value of this space is there and I enjoyed it as a get ready location for my hair & make-up team. Just unfortunate that a few things left a slight sour note. Would still recommend this place in the end but just manage your expectations.
