Before booking this reservation; I sent a message, inquiring about a multi day discount. I was told "The 7 day discount will be reflected in the booking total"
However, the discount was never applied.
----------------------------------------------------
After booking the reservation; I was asked to sign a rental agreement (which I was told that the agreement is "required by the state of Hawaii"
I have used Expedia to rent multiple units in Kauai and do not recall this being the case.
AirBnB's policy is, if the 'add' does not mention a rental agreement, you can cancel the reservations w/o any charges (I wasn't willing to take the chance)
Within the rental agreement that you are signing, you have to agree that you are going to follow all rules in a book that is in the unit (which they do not have an electronic copy of; to preview before signing)
These things made for unnecessary worries during my vacation :(........
---------------------------------------------
After Checking in; I listed many discrepancies with the unit (which I communicated both through voicemail/voice/text):
1 - missing smoke detector
2 - handles to open 4 of the louvered windows were broken
3 - light in the dinning room would not turn on
4 - fan in the master bedroom would not turn on
5 - TV remote was not working
6 - the HDMI ports on the living room TV were problematic
7 - one of the lights in the kitchen would not turn on
8 - the toilet paper handle in the bathroom was loose (may not be long before it falls off the wall)
9 - Shower Towel Bars in both bathrooms were loose
I was asked if they could address these issues even if we were not present (which I agreed to in text). I never heard anything from the owner after that.
