We chose to leave after 2 nights, for a nicer place, even though it meant forfeiting 6 nights of paid rent! I realize I picked a “budget” Airbnb, but because of the ratings and “super host” status, I expected it to be in the best of its category. Instead, we found it to be depressing to spend time in and inadequate. The general vibe is “my first apt after college”—but that doesn’t have to mean the owner doesn’t care one whit about your experience:
- Zero body wash or soap
- No hand towels, no washcloths
- Bathroom a crowded mess with zero space to place our things. Cabinets and shelf space overflowed with products left behind, many empties. Photo in listing displays a clean, neat bathroom.
- A/C is a small window unit in living area-not shown in listing- it doesn’t have sufficient power to reach bedroom area. Stuff/warm in May, can’t imagine it mid-summer.
- At night, was going to use phone while in bed and it needed charging. The only nearby outlet is behind/middle of bed. Owner not familiar with “power strip” concept.
- Insanely loud at night over weekend.
- This MAY be something owner would’ve addressed, we didn’t ask, but forewarning: we are two persons and were provided only one key. Had we stayed this would have been a major problem because we are not joined at the hip.
