In looking back at my stay at host's apartment, I believe the biggest stumbling block was the language barrier. The communication was very poor due to unclear directions and unexplained charges.
The pet charge of $150 was made three days after my initial reservation which I made on 8/18/22. On 8/21/22 this $150 pet was pd. Additional charges added to my bill as a result of this change which was not communicated to me at the time. As a result this issue plagued me for several months without a clear resolution. On my 2nd day of vacation, once again host requested this $150 pet fee. This hardly made for relaxing getaway.
The host didn't supply adequate essentials. There was 1 roll of toilet paper for 2 adults staying 2 wks. This was hardly sufficient for length of stay.
View from the balcony was lovely. Pool and ocean view were visually beautiful, although parking lot was also part of the view. Rooms were large, but to hardly a penthouse.
Needless to say I am very leery to use Arbn
