Had a good time at Vania's place. Netflix and I became good friends again :) Vania was very gracious and generous - I was moving and was concerned my car might get vandalized because of too many visible items - and V was kind in letting me store things in her garage. She also prepared breakfast for me more than once - much more than I ever did as a host. The bed was comfy - yes, take the advice on being a light sleeper seriously :) Had a good time petting the cats and looking at the art as well. Recommendation to eat at Tuk Tuk led to some true gastronomic pleasure :)
AirBnB has lowered my expectations considerably over the years - so much so that I've almost come to accept disappointment at every place. Truly, how is it different from dating? In both domains, the providers have failed their customers. You want to know what about the listing is going to turn you off. On paper so many things look okay, but, with past reviews, machine learning, whatever, they should be able to predict whether you will be happy at a place or not - meaning - should you pay more to get more. Not to mention how difficult it is to go through listings having to request to book each time - not knowing if things are going to work out or now.
So? As usual, the bathroom was below standard - and needs work - the shower water control is broken and should be fixed asap. The number of roommates sharing the bath should be clearly listed. Three is a stretch. The sink faucet should be replaced with one that does not require fingers to be involved. I even saw a millipede on the floor. The problem with a permanent roommate is that there is no good breakpoint to do a thorough cleaning job.
The fridge sharing might also be reconsidered. One person to a massive fridge and then three guests to a tiny one is a bit of a stretch.
