Leading up to our stay the hosts were very responsive.
Upon arriving at almost midnight after an extremely long flight, which the hosts had been made aware of, I was shocked that no outdoor light had been left on as the accommodation is located above the garage, accessed by a rear laneway. Getting luggage up a flight of stairs and locating the lock box etc would have been made a lot easier. Upon entering we were hit with stifling heat as no cooling had been left on for us...during summer in Texas. The last thing we wanted after for traveling for more than 24 hours was to sit up for several more hours as we waited for the place to cool down.
As the hosts live on the property if for some reason they couldnt pop in and put on the aircon and the light perhaps they could have at least put some cold water in the fridge.
The hosts never introduced themselves or msgd to see how things were. We didnt introduce ourselves as the guide book listed at least twice the importance of respecting their privacy.
The guidebook hasnt been updated in some time as it only listed Uber and Lyft as the rideshare options, however these have to been present in months. I was aware of this but some guests may not be and it wold be a time save to list actual operating options. The tv isnt connected to an antenna but does have a chrome cast attached, some info in the guide book regarding this could be useful for some guests.
The location is great.
Its the little touches and extra though that I like about Air BnB, sadly missing here. The bed was so soft that if two people are lying on it you find yourself in an uncomfortable ditch like situation. The bed was dressed with a bare old doona wrapped between a sheet and a woolen blanket (in summer...in Texas). Doesnt seem like theres been much true consideration for the guests comfort here.
At this price I would have preferred to stay at a motel.
