Jer has a spacious home that can house large parties. I ended up not using two of the rooms since we didn’t have a need for them. The neighborhood is safe and quite as well. There are things about the house and his communication that I did not appreciate. For starters, on the day of the check in I had to reach out to him on what the codes are and check in details. I had family coming in from CO, TX, and TN so I did ask for an early check in. I was grateful that he gave us an early check-in. Only thing is when my in laws got there the code he gave us would not open the door. They texted me I reached out to Jer and I gave my in-laws his contact. My in-laws said they didn’t hear back from him, so they were going to come back at regular check in time. We gave him the benefit of the doubt that the door wasn’t reset yet. They go back with groceries and luggage at the time of the normal check in and still they can’t get in. They contact me and I contact Jer and get on my flight. I get nervous two hours into our flight and join the inflight WIFI, and I got a text from my sister-in-law saying they haven’t had any luck getting in and the host is not responding. At this point my family from TX has landed with two kids and they are working on plan B. I finally land at my connecting airport, and I don’t have any responses from the host either. By this time 4 hours has passed. I’m convinced I was scammed. I reached out to AIRBNB and magically within 30 mins I get a call from the host. He swears he hasn’t received any communication from me and my family. However, leading up to the day of the check in he was super responsive, so I find it hard to believe that he didn’t get any voicemails, calls, or messages. My in-laws finally got in through the garage and there was no washcloths and the host said he will bring some in the next day. That did not happen we had to go get our own. As you can imagine by the time my flight lands and I’m at the property I’m perturbed…. anything else I saw was just icing to the cake. Like the rug in the living room that’s a literal death trap for kids. The house just feels cold and bare minimum, so the super host rating has me a little befuddled. I’ve stayed with super host, and they think through the details and go the extra step. The couch was broken, and the canned lights were popping out of the ceiling, walls were scuffed up just to name a few items.

So, taking away my feelings towards the experience I would say the house is great for hosting large families and it’s a great place to crash if you are spending most of your time exploring the city.

P.S- The bathrooms were nicely upgraded, and the hot water was enough for 7 adults and 2 kids.
