Be careful- although we had a good stay at the Airbnb, it was NOT the unit shown in this listing!!! Even though you think you are paying for and getting this luxurious Unit, the host may give you something else entirely. In our case it was a major downgrade, and completely misleading. The host never actually showed us any photos of the real Airbnb location. Look at other reviews of this place- it’s not the first time this has happened.
So BE AWARE: you may not see the actual unit until you actually step inside (which is extremely inconvenient if you’ve travelled long distance to get there).
During our actual stay, the host did not respond to all messages, and walked into the unit 1 day earlier thinking it was our checkout date (not really an issue for us, but was kind of awkward). It was nice to actually meet him in-person, as he brought us extra laundry soap.
With that being said, James was actually a decent host. His communication (when he did reply) was good. Our unit was clean, and the view from our balcony was nice. The building we received was in a GREAT area (steps away from Starbucks and Safeway), and the kitchen was well stocked with plates/utensils/cleaning material. The bathroom had poor lighting (downgrade from the pictures shown).
Overall, we had a good stay at this unit, despite the fact that it was a downgrade from the listing and not what we expected to pay for. Only go with this host if you’re comfortable with uncertainty when arriving to an Airbnb (which is unlikely since the point of this app is to KNOW what you’re getting).
