8/10 Good

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
The host was very responsive but the listing was not exactly as noted. The listing mentioned a premium room with snacks and beverages but all the room had was a coffee maker. and a fridge.The listing mentioned valet parking on site for a fee of 47 per night but this was not accurate either. The actual fee charged was 75 per night which is quite a bit different.

Due to weather conditions scheduled flights were cancelled thereby making it impossible for travel. No change in reservation was offered and actually was declined. No refund offered either.
