I have mixed feelings about this rental and host. On the one hand, there weren't many places available during our travel window in our price range. On the other hand, everywhere else we've ever stayed in that same price range was completely hassle-free: Everything worked. Everything was well stocked. Everything in the listing and the pictures was there. Everything was clean. Never needed to communicate with the host during our stay.
This stay, we had almost daily communication with the host. The A/C didn't work. There was no beach umbrella like in the listing pictures. We had to request things to be restocked. Dishes were dirty in the cupboards when we arrived.
The main thing was the A/C. The loft has no operable windows or vents, so it gets pretty hot up there. The rest of the unit doesn't fair much better, as the layout and the surrounding environment doesn't provide for much of a cross breeze with the windows open. I told the host the A/C wasn't cooling and the exhaust coil was packed with dust on the first day. On the third day, I tried to clean it myself, it made no improvement, and I told the host. She asked if we'd like it replaced before we left, and we said yes. Coming home the evening of our fifth day, after some back-and-forth communication the previous days, we came home to see a new A/C unit still in its box. I didn't want to go another night in the hot loft, so I unboxed it and set it up myself. The next evening, the host messaged me to say someone was coming to install it. On the bright side for future tenants, the A/C has now been replaced, though don't expect it to get the unit very cold.
The communication was also frustrating. There was often a large degree of uncertainty in the host's responses, and got the feeling that things weren't too much of a rush for them.
