I have mixed feelings to leave this review as Kal is a sociable host and clearly is invested in his AirBnB endeavor. His place is very pleasing aesthetically and has a very good vibe. I wish him all the best.
The trouble was that I value the function or purpose of the lodging to be more important than the looks. I was dealing with chronic pain. I traveled a long way and very much needed comfort and relief. I needed to take a shower when I got to his place but there was no towel available. I had messaged him but didn’t get a response for several hours. When I found him (he was in the lower part of the house) and approached him, the communication was tense and awkward. He conveyed that it’s just not available and that’s that. I checked into a hotel after leaving and was relieved to not face this kind of issue.
It could be that people enjoy a social experience of Airbnb but I really needed all the functionalities to be present. If you have less requirements than I did at the time then this might be a non issue for you. Kal does provide some snacks, offers suggestions about the area, which are kind gestures.
