We chose this listing because it had mentioned parking on premises and we explicitly mentioned we were taking the apartment because of the parking. The night before we were supposed to get there we were told the parking garage was broken. We were upset and then they told us they would pay for half our parking which we thought wasn't acceptable. We eventually decided to rent a car (though after the host did offer to pay for parking fully, but at that point it was too late).
The apartment also smelled of cigarettes. We had brought this up to the host, but he mentioned his cleaning lady went to the apartment and didn't smell anything. Myself and the other guest both smelled it strongly and decided to check out two days early because we found the air really unpleasant to breathe in.
Our host tried to get us to check out by 11am or else he was going to to charge us for two nights. We were notified around 9:30am. We had reached out at night explaining the situation and at 8am decided to check out. Unfortunately, we were on a 5.5 hour bike tour that started at 9am with no way to go back and check out in time. We eventually spoke to Airbnb and they got us a later checkout. We rushed back to the Airbnb after our bike tour, packed our stuff up really quickly and headed to a new Airbnb. But the whole checkout process was much more chaotic and stressful than it needed to be.
Had this listing not featured parking, we probably wouldn't have taken it at it's price point. We were planning on staying and making the best of the situation but ultimately, the cigarette smell compelled us to find new accommodations.
