Overall, I really enjoyed my time at this AirBnb. I reserved it for my bachelor party so my friends and I could have a place to go after having steaks and just play some board games and kick back.
Pros:
Large enough space to host 8 and still have room to spare.
Plenty of fun things to do, including shuffle board, pac man, a pinball machine, and more.
Super clean! I didn’t find a speck of dust anywhere all night.
Cons:
The beds were not very comfortable. For the price, you can’t expect amazing mattresses for that many people, but even the main bedroom was uncomfortable.
You can’t check in until 4 PM and must check out by 10 AM unless you’ve made prior arrangements and there was mention of that costing extra. I’ve stayed in a bunch of Airbnb’s at this point and they always do check in at 3 pm and check out at 11 am. I was not aware of this when I booked and had to adjust accordingly. It’s not a huge deal, but that was two hours I’m used to getting for that kind of price.
The host sent a welcome message before check in explaining the rules. The two that were a little worrying was that they have a phone monitoring system that tracks how many phones are in their residence and warned me to NEVER have more phones than the number of guests. We are all working professionals and most of us have a personal phone and a business phone so that was a little off putting. The second was that they also have a noise monitoring system and if it ever gets too loud they’ll be notified. These are obviously attempts to prevent large parties from disturbing their neighbors, but it also felt like an invasion of privacy.
As I said, overall it was a great space for the price, but the phone and noise rules in particular were a little concerning.
