The apartment itself was very clean, wonderfully decorated/homey, well stocked, and in such an awesome location. I had a beautiful time during my stay, and walked all over the city!
However, I can't help but feel a little disappointed in the host. I was supposed to arrive from upstate NY to Seattle on a Friday. When my first flight got delayed, I (after sprinting the entire A terminal) missed the last flight out of Detroit to Seattle and had to spend the night, and Delta didn't pay for the hotel. I had to pay for that plus this Airbnb that I couldn't get to to save my life. On my flight the following morning, we had to make an emergency landing in Minneapolis for a passenger that had to be taken to the hospital. A trip that should have been less than 7 hours took almost 24 hours.
I kept Kelly informed every step of the way, and she was flexible in getting me the key to the apartment the next day. I asked if she was willing to offer even a partial refund for the night I missed, explaining that I had to pay for the hotel in Detroit. She said that if she had more notice, she would consider it. Had I been able to see into my future earlier in the week and notice that the stars would align in some kind of death trap preventing me from getting to Seattle, I certainly would have let her know... It was disappointing that she would rather see a guest pay for two places in one night than offer any kind of help at all.
Great place, wonderful location. But know this: if the gods conspire to strike your travel plans down, you will be paying for this (and the Detroit airport Sheraton) anyway.
