The place was cozy, descent view from the balcony. My only minor issue was a slight miscommunication on the parking, which was on me. Matthew sent a msg thru Airbnb asking if I wanted to secure parking, which my response didn't go thru bcus I responded to the text sent by Airbnb, which doesn't work.
When I arrived, I inquired about parking and he told me that he didn't secure it because I didn't respond to his question asking if I wanted it. After telling him that I did want the spot, the host was able to make whatever last minute adjustments to secure the spot for me.
In my opinion, this is a matter of semantics; the host wasn't "wrong" for his approach, but for what guests pay for this unit, I would suggest that he reserve the parking and then release if the guest say that they don't need it. In other words, I booked this spot BECAUSE it came with parking - I would think that's true for most guests who know that parking is $35/day everywhere else.
Overall, great experience.
