The apt and location was in a prime location with restaurants and a nightclub/bar in walking distance. The accommodations was very clean. The beds were comfortable, linens were clean as well as kitchen and bathroom .
The reserved parking space was only a available for first 45 min on the day of check in. After that we had to communicate with the host in registering our vehicle in guest parking.
I did not appreciate being treated like a child. The day I paid for the apt. I was given the run down of the rules of our stay. For instance the check in time and check out time the common area was off limits and to keep the noise level down after 9pm. I was told to submit a statement stating I understood the rules. Which is fine .
Secondly, I was told the day before arriving the rules and the day of arrival the same rules. Each day of our stay I was reminded of the checkout time etc.
I’m a 21 year retired Navy veteran and a 49 year old grown woman. Along with my sister who is 48, and my cousin who is 50. I didn’t need to be bombarded with continuous messages reminding me of the rules and when checkout time is. That was annoying and also not being able to use the reserved parking space. If that was the case just register the vehicle each day to avoid having to contact the host each time. I’m my opinion, this is giving the host our movement times, and it was a violation of my privacy. Each day I was asked to send a picture of the parking spot, he wanted to know if it was occupied by mid morning or asked in the afternoon if I got a chance to verify. Again annoying!
My suggestion is to place a sign on the doors in the bedrooms and main door of the rules and check out time. Ensure there is a reserved parking sign to avoid others from parking in the reserved parking spot. Which there wasn’t and the other reserved parking space had one.
This in my opinion with the lack of having a reserved parking sign was on purpose.
This gave the host the ability to keep tabs on you.
The day of checkout I received another message advising me of the check out time, and other directions on where to leave the key and fob. I sent the host a picture of the key and fob left in the lock box at his request.
As a courtesy I sent another photo letting the host know we had vacated the premises. I did not receive another message from the host saying thank you etc. as a matter of fact the message was unread.
Now, being treated like a child for 3 days, and being sent a slew off messages every day. The host couldn’t even read my last message. Rude, Rude, Rude!!
Moreover, I gave 3 stars for the accommodations. I will at all cost avoid this host in the future.
Thank you but no thank you!!
