The place met our most basic requirements as all we needed was a place to stay for the evening. Overall clean and close enough to the city (30ish min drive) there was also plenty of street parking which made it convenient for our group.
However this experience sort of left a bad taste in my mouth. Hosts immediately reached out to us stating that our reservation indicated that we may have a party (we didn’t) and that we may be fined/etc. I understand it was Halloween weekend.
They have a 5pm checkin/10 am check out and charge you for an earlier one/later one. Not to mention the place isn’t accurately reflected in the listing. It is livable in real life but nothing like these images. Thankfully we weren’t really here much during our stay.
I understand Airbnb must charge a cleaning fee (which we were, no big deal) but upon checkout the hosts messaged me saying they charge for any leftover plates in the sink?? And had a long roster of instructions regarding trash.
We were here for one night only. This has reaffirmed my opinion that I will no longer continue to use Airbnb. Before it was so much more affordable and accessible. Now there are multiple hosts who own multiple properties and up charge to the point that staying in a hotel is cheaper and CONSIDERABLY more convenient.
