This isn’t what I expect out of an AirBnB (a place that feels like a real person was renting it out and cared). This chain claimed to have all the benefits of a hotel without all the hassle. Instead, I got all the things I hate about a hotel with none of the benefits.
There was no homeliness, pre-rationed coffee and coffee/filters, pre-portioned soap that dried out my skin and hair, white bedding that feels scratchy, and uncomfortable furniture. It was run down with holes in the drywall around sockets and plugs that didn’t work (more than half of the apartments plugs didn’t work). It was not what I expect from a super host in AirBnB.
We’ve been in tiny spaces, had issues with things not working, and places that were past their time when using AirBnB, but they did more than the bare minimum to make the space usable. I’m not sure how this is considered a super host, but we will never use them again.
In the end, I choose AirBnB so I get the homeliness that a hotel can never produce; this was not it.
Other issues I had with the place:
- We arrived and the remote didn’t work. When we reached out, they brought a new one but it didn’t work since the batteries were dead.
- The table was wobbly we couldn’t work on it without things falling.
- The balcony took 10 minutes to figure out how to close and the front door lock was wobbly.
- Half the outlets didn’t work
- No shelving in the closet
- No cabinets or dressers to put socks and underwear
- Location was too far to walk to places or get public transportation
- Superhost status and price
