The unit was certainly a 5+. Nothing not to like. However, I gave our stay a 3 overall only because of an unexpected development that was received with little empathy from the owner and no offer of any cost or deposit adjustment .
The original stay was 14 nights and with the commissions, taxes, cleaning, etc., it came to $389/night - Almost identical to a 2 bedroom suite with living area and full kitchen and parking at the nearby Marriott Courtyard. But, we wanted to try something new - our first Airbnb experience. Unfortunately, just prior to the start date, our family had an unexpected turn of medical events for a younger brother who eventually died. As a result we were only able to occupy the unit for the last 7 of the original 14 days. This effectively, without any adjustment, made out cost per night "actually occupied" equal to $780/night. When the owner (whom we had found to be truly accommodating) was advised of the situation days before our intended original arrival date, The response was simply: " Sorry to hear your news, we wish you the best". It was like caring less since the deposit was already received and non- refundable. At Delta, there was no problem with any flight revisions and changes which were done at no cost penalty. At Marriott, I know there would have been no problem with adjustments of a non-refundable deposit. But at Airbnb with a private owner, things I learned were different. All in all we had hoped for a better first Airbnb experience. (Not no mention the record snowfall in Seattle since 2008 on the Day we arrived - but that was a piece of cake -since we're from Michigan). Perhaps sometime in the future we'll try Airbnb again, time will tell.
