First off, the positives were that this is a lovely place to stay. Well decorated, good vibes, awesome fenced yard for pets, and the neighborhood is walkable.
However, these things needed improvement.
1) the check-in process was complicated compared to other properties I’ve stayed at. The night before the host reached out asking our anticipated arrival time which was going to be later in the evening. I expected to get check-in instructions at that point but didn’t hear anything. The next day around 4:30pm I reached out to the host asking about our access code but only then was it requested I send a government issue ID, the credit card used for booking, and to get approval of these things 3-hours before anticipated check-in time or else risk having our reservation cancelled. At this time we’re driving through a mountain range with little service. I don’t mind I had to provide these documents but it was needlessly stressful especially when we could have received these instructions the night before when they originally reached out.
2) We had four people sharing this space and while there are two futons available there weren’t enough sheets, blankets, or pillows to accommodate. Also the futons lack any kind of cushion. They can be slept on but they’re not super comfortable.
3) The door to the bathroom is not framed well. It has a large gap when closed and it barely hangs on.
Lastly, some more neutral feed that the host can’t control but may want to keep in mind for future check-in instructions. Google maps directs drivers to go down and alley way behind the property which doesn’t have an entrance to place to park.
Overall this was a great little space it was just lacking some direction and amenities.
