The pros- clean space, location is about 5 minutes or less to the airport, immediate neighborhood is nice.
The cons- there was some miscommunication between us. A personalized video was sent on how to access the space. I couldn't see it well and honestly, watching a long video just to get in wasn't something I was expecting. First issue came trying to get in and past the fence. Long story short, it needed some pushing and when we tried to figure out where exactly (it all looks the same), the man on the property flipped out on my friend as if he was trying to break it.As in yelling and waiving his hands in the air. He was just trying to open it and even after I knew where to access it, I was trying to be careful so I didn't get yelled at. It still took me thinking I'd break it to open it.
It's not clear in the description but we are over 5'10" and you are literally crouching way down to get into the space. That should be communicated better. In the descrption, it said you would have access to the above space if they weren't there. We were never told if that was available or not, even though the host came from the house next door on one occasion so we assumed we just had the basement.
Then the same guy just opens the door above the staircase, no warning, and told me to move my car. No problem, I didnt park in his way but okay. I go outside, its absolutely pouring. I cant open the gate again, just getting soaked, just to move a car out of his way that isn't in the way. I parked to the left of his van for this purpose. He couldnt see that as he obviously didnt look since it was pouring. I move the car 3 feet up, then he has me roll the window down, car getting soaked, to tell me he's leaving in a minute. So were we I told him. Stops raining, and we leave, with his van still in the same spot. Didn't appreciate that.
The owner is worried about covid, we cant use the above space, yet she felt okay coming right up to me to discuss how we were "rough" with the gate when her bf came out screaming at us. And how I had 3 of my friends over for the first 45 minutes after we arrived as their flight was delayed. I didn't mention that as I found out that morning, and they were there for 45 minutes. Why do i need to report to you just to have a few people over for 45 minutes at 1pm? They didnt stay the night and if you dont feel comfortable with this and it being a safety issue, I'd suggest not hosting on airbnb. I'm in law enforcement and we are all around 40 years of age.
Also says the dog won't be in the main space. It obviously was as I could hear it tapping around then at 8am when it started barking, waking me up to the one day I get to sleep in.
Need to update their description to clarify upstairs situation and the low entrance (like 4 feet or less) and put better signage for the gate.
