This has been my first disappointing Airbnb experience. We stayed in Paola’s apartment for 6 days.
Pros:
-Location is just steps from the beach
- Condo includes all beach supplies
- Staff in the building are kind
- perfect amount of space for 2 people
Cons:
- White towels appeared over worn and tinged grey/yellow
- Window AC unit is too weak to cool entire apartment
- two pigeons reside on the balcony, if you leave the doors open they will come inside the apartment
Our biggest issue with this listing was actually communication with Paola. I booked Paola’s apartment months in advance and at the time of booking Free Parking was in the title of her listing as well as listed as an amenity. About 24hrs before check-in, I looked over the Airbnb listing again and noticed parking was now listed as $30 a day. I reached out to Paola about this and she said there had been a change in policy. By this time it was too late for us to book something else so we would have no choice but to pay the $180 in parking for our 6 day stay. I requested Paola refund the $180 of parking since we were never notified of the change and because at the time of booking it was advertised as free. She refused.
tldr: book this place for the location but don’t be surprised if the host doesn’t communicate changes to you.
