This is my first “bad” experience with Airbnb in 7 years.
The good, then the bad.
The host was very responsive, and very fast! Fantastic! Wish all hosts were this fast. Was nice and to the point. I like that. The place was in a great location, right where I hoped to be, and it was very clean. Easy to find.
Now the bad below........ I think its mostly oversight by the host. The host seams very friendly.
The Bad.
Zero, absolutely zero privacy.
No curtains, no blinds. You have to change in the bathroom for privacy. Thus the parking garage right outside the window, no more than 15 feet shined into the room all night. The daylight also lit it up in the morning. I got absolutely no sleep. This right here is the #1 reason for a low review. If it had proper privacy, or heck any at all. . (You can actually see this in one of the host photos now that I know what I am looking at) The photo from the doorway.
This issue is also mentioned by a previous guest in the reviews.
There was 2 towels , no rags. Not that it mattered because the shower has zero pressure. Not enough to even get the shower to latch to stay on. If I held the shower to on it dribbled like an 80 year old with prostate issues.
Couldn't take a bath as there was no drain plug. So cleaning myself was also not available.

I am 6’2” and had issues getting into the bed. Its very very high up off the ground. Minor issue.
The listing does not state a smart cell phone with Bluetooth is REQUIRED. This should be mentioned!!!!! Not everyone has a cell phone. Or a smart one. I
The parking tag was broken and would not hang as per instructions.
And last but not least. The instructions before you arrive. Oh boy. Not only would I have NOT booked this place had any of this info been on the page, I wanted to cancel as soon as I got them but due to the time frame I was locked in, but alot of the info that was sent is required to be on the main listing else it becomes a legal issue. You can not throw out extra fees and charges and extra rules etc after a booking. Everything must be upfront. Which its NOT.
But this was sent just before the trip, without time to book a new place, or cancel the current.
The TP in the bathroom was the worst of the worst cheapest cheap stuff ive ever seen. Walmart bathrooms care more for ya butt then the person using this TP does. Oh boy howdy.
The sign on the wall says checkout at 10, tidy up etc, no issues. But then says do laundry…….. Yea not gonna happen. 10 is too early, but this is my fault as the listing does state this and I overlooked it. I think noon would be good for the location and the type of activities people do in the area.
Also the check in process was a pain as mentioned by a previous visitor. 20 min free is not enough. It took me 30min to park and get to the room and back to have to go park elsewhere. And I was almost running. No Bueno on this either. But this I could have overlooked as it's not really the hosts fault. This is more of a property issue and their rules.
Oh, Also it says in the instructions to leave the AC alone. So I sweated my butt off all night. The Thermostat would not stay set on what I wanted. Was a NEST so host has it programmed to do its thing I guess. I tried. No luck.
