A few pros, but our experience was not great -
Shige’s place is in a great location and the parking is nice to have.
Unfortunately, we had many issues during our 2.5 week stay there. While Shige was responsive, our issues were not all fully resolved, and it was frustrating to have one issue after another during our stay.
When we arrived, the sliding door was broken. Shige called maintenance to arrive the next day. We also had broken balcony chairs, and Shige did get us new ones a few days later. The next day the towel rod in the bathroom feel off.
When maintenance arrived, he put in short term fixes for both the door and towel rod and informed us that to fix it correctly, it would take time that he didn’t have. I asked if he could come back to fix the door because the primary reason we chose the Airbnb was for one bedroom that closed so we could keep noise as separate as possible since one of us would be working. He told me to coordinate through our host, Shige. When I informed Shige of this, he said that the door does not keep noise out completely even when fixed. I let him know that it would still be better than have a significant gap in the door, and he told me that it would not be possible during our stay.
A week or so later, the toilet / bidet flooded. It felt extremely unsanitary. While Shige had maintenance come by that afternoon to fix it, it was extremely frustrating after having the other issues on top of it.
Unfortunately, we misplaced our parking pass in the rental car, for which we were informed there was a $150 fee in multiple messages and on the check in instructions. During check out, Shige informed me that it was $200 with a handling fee. He agreed to $150, and I later even sent screenshots of where it stated that it was $150.
After check out, I let Shige if we could further negotiate the parking pass due to all the issues we had. He declined, and I informed him I would pay the $150. He had not yet reached out about how to make the payment.
