Ej’s place is beautiful and located in the middle of bishop arts. Great central spot.
No matter how beautiful his house was, I had a big problem. I payed for a one night stay for 11 people to come and have a dinner with me since it was my birthday and we didn’t want to go to a restaurant because of covid.
EJ provided everything for check in which is great but when we got there, it was very hot.
There are four floors to this house. Second one being the common area. We moved the air to 70 and it felt ok. That was around 5. 7:30 is when everyone arrived so I went upstairs and could not change the thermostat because it was password protected. So I read his instructions which say they only have one unit in the whole house and upstairs will naturally be 6 degrees warmer . That would be fine if we weren’t in the Texas heat.
I was so embarrassed with my guest because they were sweating the first 10 minutes they get there. I message EJ around seven and he doesn’t reply. I send a message again ( because we’re all sweating ) and he doesn’t reply. So I’m mad now because it’s been two hours and I call him which he does not prefer ! What was I suppose to do? He responded through Airbnb after I called saying “ I show it’s low 70’s on third floor and resends his automated message which I have read already. I replied by saying it doesn’t feel like it’s in the 70’s and he never replied!!! We could not change the thermostat because it had a code
End of story, ALL the people I paid for yo stay LEFT because it was so hot. So I overpaid for nothing.
So if you plan to stay, do it in the fall when it’s in the 60’s and don’t expect them to reply to you quickly. And if you do get a response, it will be automated.
