The house itself is as described BUT the hosts…. Not as much. Please read on for the full story. The house is at a good location wrt restaurants and in the heart of Fremont. As other guests have mentioned, noise was a concern as the walls are very thin and you can hear people walking and talking. I was woken up a couple of times at night because of the noise, so if you are a light sleeper, good luck.
Wrt the hosts, i had a terrible experience with both Marie and Lenza. During my stay, the door to the basement bedroom got locked and they did not have a key anywhere in the apartment to open it. They advised me to pick the lock and if that attempted failed, was advised to call a locksmith. The hosts agreed to split the cost of the locksmith (it was after hours). However, after I took care of it their behavior changed, especially when I started asking about the payment. Delayed response times ( no message for days) , holding me hostage for a good review, arguing on the cost of the service and downright telling me it was my mistake for locking myself out of a door INSIDE the apartment, and when they did NOT have a key. It has been 2 weeks since my stay and I haven’t been paid yet. In an attempt to play nice they “offered” to pay the entire amount but have gone silent after that. Contacting them through AirBnB has been ignored as well. And here I am, having spent $200 to unlock a door they never had the key for in the first place. And I still haven’t been paid what was initially promised.
I have wasted hours trying to talk to them and to Airbnb to fix this issue but in no vain. They wanted to make sure I will give them a good review, and only then felt comfortable “fixing” the issue. This has been the worst experience I have ever had. I will never stay at any properly hosted by Marie and Lenza. Please be beware, they are only nice when everything goes their way. The minute it doesn’t, things change. Worst worst worst experience ever.
