My partner and I spent two nights at this Airbnb.
THE GOOD:
The location was central to everything we wanted to do!
The apartment was clean and I appreciate that very much.
We had fresh towels and wash cloths out for us.
The instructions how to get into the apartment and where to park our car were very clear.
There was a TV with streaming services we could watch.
The bed was the most comfortable bed I may have ever slept on in my lifetime!
THE NOT AS GOOD:
This family’s instruction & demand on us as a guest had me on eggshells. The rules are very strict and there are additional rules posted around different parts of the house. Even in the shower. (You have to squeegee the glass after each shower)
All the rules gave us anxiety about doing something wrong. Also, there are so many rules that I couldn’t recall if I forgot one or not. So I went back and forth to the app multiple times because I was so afraid to do something wrong.
The walls are like paper, there was extra noise at night and very early in the morning. But it was to be expected with a live music venue on the next block. This didn’t last long though. It was tolerable.
There was a nonnegotiable check in time limit due to a “small baby”. I RUSHED from my job in Cupertino, to check out of that hotel I was in, to make it to the Airbnb, all for a SELF check in to an apartment that was connected to a garage…. Not another house.
There was absolutely no reason for us to feel so tight on time. We proceeded to leave the house after check in and go to get dinner. So ultimately we still came back into the house well after the allotted check in time.
