++ Outstanding communicaton with Alesandra: Proactive, clear, positive & friendly
++ Alesandra made a couple of exceptions for me (post delivery, staying with a teenager, remaining 1 hour longer vs house rules)
++ Alesandra tried to find solutions to below mentioned problems
+ Very good location, 3 blocks from subway, close to shops, dinner & Central Park
= Living room & bathroom as described, nice
Below negative points obviously depend on the amount I paid. For a total of 440$ for 3 nights, I'd expect better, even in Manhattan/NY
-- A couple of significant discrepancies between room as it was vs its description/pictures on AirBnB > Alesandra will be taking care of this
-- Very loud a/c with air draft on 2nd bed during my stay > Alesandra tries to find a sustainable solution to this
-- Bed quality rather economic
-- Due to the above, value for money paid not good. Discussing the matter 24hrs after checkin when she first appeared home, I invited her to partially refund me for the discrepancies between AirBnB description and reality. Unfortunately, she didn't pursue that option, suggesting to me we should have immediately cancelled the reservation upon arrival. Since we were very tired due to a very early bird flight and we had all days in NY fully planned with pre-booked activities, I was only going down that road if I absolutely had to.
