I would try to give a detailed unbiased review as I’ve noticed the reviews on this listing have been heavily influenced by the “i scratch your back, you scratch mine” policy. In other words, the host gives a positive review to the guests which in return are expected to do the same.
I’ll start the review with the 2 issues i had. Firstly, he charges extra for a second person booking the same room. I didn’t know this so was ‘forced’ to pay $40 extra for the 2nd person staying with me in the same room (3 nights). Another issue was that it is a comparity small apartment and pretty much all rooms are on airbnb along with the host himself staying in the apartment so it feels congested. On top of that the walls are extremely thin and there was a lot of noise issues.
Not considering the fact that i feel its illogical to charge a 2nd person fee for a room labeled to be for 2 people, I would like Glen to be more transparent with him charging that said fee. No where in the listing does he mentions this, and later on he sent me a picture showing that when you book the place it shows on below the taxes which is super easy to miss.
Before the booking, I had sent him a message informing him that we would be 2 people coming over for 3 nights but even then he didn’t mention anything about the 2nd persons fee, and it was only when the payment/booking had been done did he say that now i have to pay the 2nd person fee too. To top if off, he made it seem like I was trying to rip him off by not adding the 2nd person to the booking. Yes, i didn’t add the 2nd person to the booking as i already had messaged the host telling him about how many people/nights we would be staying. Failing to Add a second guest to a booking labeled for 2 people is only an issue to hosts who charge the 2nd person for staying in the same room.
Anyway, apart from these issues i would say the place is decent. You’ll get a clean room, a very nice working desk and the common bathroom is also neat.
However, in my opinion , this place is best suited for a SINGLE traveler who is stopping for a night on the way to or from the airport.
