I want to first start off by saying that I’ve never left a bad review on a host.
Secondly, the place itself is great urban location, very close to where I was working on a project, so it was convenient. My review is not based on the place itself, because it’s worth staying there, clean, spacious, fast WiFi, etc.
My review is based on the little to no communication the host had after hours. As a business owner, you need to make sure your phone is turned on and there’s a secondary number on file that is responsive just in case of emergencies.
For the first time ever, an emergency happened to me while staying at an Airbnb, it practically cost me everything to a point where I had to go stay at another hotel down the street.
Granted the emergency was not the hosts fault what so ever, but the lack of communication could have resulted in a far worse outcome.
I’m sure the host is beating himself up about not responding to my calls and texts late at night, but I also know it’s something the hosts can grow from.
Nonetheless, the space is great, don’t let my bad experience stop anyone reading from staying at the spot. You can tell they are new hosts but I really hope they step it up as the space has massive potential as it has an edge compared to cookie cut hotels, where it’s connected to a pottery sale lot and walking distance from everything you need, 2 floors, and the quintessential loft. Just too bad I didn’t get to enjoy it.
