After dealing with what could only be described as an "AirBnb Nightmare" situation due to an extremely dishonest host double booking my nye penthouse reservation, I got lucky and struck gold with Arthur's penthouse. He not only empathized with my situation, but also provided some helpful insight and advice. He personally met me and gave me a walk through of his beautiful penthouse. The decor is modern and tasteful and the vibe inside and on the patio is absolutely perfect... the online pics do not do it justice at all; you have to see it in person to truly appreciate it! He has private high speed internet inside the property, which most of these penthouses do not. Plenty of comfortable seating inside and outside on the patio/infinity pool area.
Surround sound speakers and a smart tv that's very easy to use to play movies or music, either through the TV apps or through your phone.
I have stayed at a couple of his other properties, and as always, had a smooth and hassle-free experience.
We overslept a little and checked out later than expected, but Arthur as patient as he was hospitable.
While certain hosts, such as the one who double booked my original reservation due to greed, give Airbnb a negative reputation, thankfully there are hosts such as Arthur who make Airbnb worth dealing with.
Note to Airbnb staff/management: Although I agree that hosts such as 'Cream' should be penalizing for their deceptive and greedy practices, I truly think that hosts such as Arthur should be rewarded for being the saving grace for your company and its guests.
If it wasnt for the experience I eventually had after booking through Arthur, I would never have trusted or used Airbnb ever again!
