Things we loved..
The location was nice and accessible to shops and food options along the street- we just walked a few blocks to wherever. It was pretty easy to check in without having to ask anyone for assistance. Gated access was nice. The AC unit can get pretty cold if we needed it to. It was clean and simple. The lighting in the room was very nice. Plates, bowls, shampoo, conditioner, dryer sheets, iron, WIFI and tv was provided.
What could've been better..
This Airbnb unfortunately follows the trend of maximizing profit while reducing the value to the guest. Lots of fees, limited linens (fee if you used the second set in the apartment), limited utensils (one spoon), no laundry detergent, etc. The apartment is about the size of a hotel room, for around the same or more cost. The AC unit was also leaking water onto the headboard of the bed near the electrical to the lamp.
Communication was lacking. We drove from UT and halfway through the drive our car broke down in ID. We were stuck there for the day until the shop could find out if we were able to continue driving. We did let our host know about our situation well before the cancellation deadline. since we likely wouldn't be able to check in for our first night- maybe we could get a partial refund for not being able to make it to our first night stay. Unfortunately we didn't hear back from him until right before the deadline to cancel the booking. He couldn't do anything about it- which meant we paid for a night we didn't stay. The next morning, we got a rental car to continue the drive to Portland, we received an automated message from the host stating he hoped we were enjoying our stay, when we still hadn't even checked in which was a bit disingenuous. After we checked out, we received a message being asked to provide a positive review to not dampen his status as a super host.
The walls are a little (a lot) thin so you can hear people next door. A normal conversation volume could be heard.
