As someone who almost exclusively uses Air B&B (and is also a host) our stay was very disappointing. The home is comparable to a dormitory... a very worn out dormitory. Pictures are INCREDIBLY deceiving and our host was not communicative.
- When the listing says ‘shared bath’ that means you’ll be sharing the only toilet facility with 6-8 other guests
- The walls are extremely thin. You can barely whisper without being heard by the room next door. Definitely not ideal for a light sleeper like myself
- The pool area was ok but it’s definitely not cleaned twice a week judging from the amount of hair floating around and grime at the bottom
- None of the common areas are furnished creating a rather eerie vibe as you walk about or use the kitchen
- towels are extremely scarce considering the pool being one of the main amenities (we were given 2 bath towels and just one hand towel and wash cloth for both of us to share) When I asked for more it took our host more than 12 hours to reply and we had already checked out.
Earlier in our trip we stayed at another Air B&B for the same price which was lovely and in a comparable neighborhood that is centrally located.
You couldn’t pay me to stay here again. Between the multiple access codes, paragraphs of rules, no hairdryer, uncomfortable bed, broken shades, wire hangers and the fact that the owner had a dog (which we did not realize upon booking) we will definitely not be returning. The only nice thing I have to say is the host’s art work is exceptional and interesting to look at.
