Careful of extra charges outside Airbnb! I was asked to pay 7,60USD per day extra on arrival for a mysterious surcharge and tourist levy and was stupid enough to do it. I got the money back at the end but only because I opened an Airbnb mediation case. I had first-hand information by the Manager of Pacific Grove Tourist Information Center that the only tourist levy that exists in Pacific Grove is the Tourist Occupancy Tax (TOT) which is already included in the Airbnb price. Still, he insisted on keeping the money until I opened a case and suddenly I got the money back. I've read that other people have been presented with extra charges too, so I think there is a scheme behind it.
DON'T PAY EXTRA CHARGES WITHOUT CLEAR PROVE THAT YOU NEED TO. Extra Charges NEED TO BE DECLARED BEFOREHAND IN THE AIRBNB OFFER according to Airbnb guidelines. Airbnb asks you to never pay any money outside Airbnb because it makes it harder for them to help you if anything goes wrong. I almost learned this the hard way. Don't make the same mistake.
I have no complaints about the hotel itself. It was a nice and calm stay at a beautiful place. We were kindly offered free food and drinks multiple times at different times of the day from the reception area where the breakfast is offered. Rishi even organized a toothbrush for us late in the evening.
