I enjoyed my stay at “Chic 1-br nestled away…”. The place was nice and clean, and the host was thoroughly attentive, responsive, and organized. Really, the whole experience was practically flawless, except for one thing: the BnB itself ended up being at a different location.
It was not a huge inconvenience since the new location was essentially the same neighborhood, and the (indoor) photos all matched. And again: all other aspects of the stay were fine. But I mention it here because it impacted my experience, and the explanation given made no sense, and so was unsettling.
A day or two after the auto-generated message from AirBnB providing me the address, I got a message from the host who informed me there was a “typo” regarding the BnB location. It was not on Holgate Boulevard, but rather on 65th Avenue.
Typo? A typo is when you mean to type ‘from’ and you accidentally type ‘form.’ These two street names were very different. As to why, I can only speculate (licensing?), and wonder, if it was innocent, why it wasn’t disclosed sooner. Ultimately it was false advertising.
Again, every other aspect of the trip was fine. In the scheme of things, this was not like dealing with a rude host or a messy, roach-infested apartment or anything. It’s a shame they had to ruin what would otherwise have been a 5-star review by being less than forthcoming about the location.
