Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : Okay so, for starters I am someone who does not like to put other people down or hurt people's feelings. *Because of my deep insecurity and constant need for validation from others which brings me to this post*.

So I just finished staying at this gorgeous airbnb. I totally would have given it 5/5 stars and left like a small review that said something like "would recommend!" but I experienced one inconvenience that made me see something subjectively wrong with the place imho.

So I rated it 5/5 on all the options but 4/5 on check-in. I also want to leave this for the airbnb users to see as well in case someone else might feel the same way. 

"I wanted to give a perfect score because there were so many great things about staying at Zhenwei's. But I did have two issues.

Positives: 
This is an excellent location. It is relatively close to the metro and this place is located in an adorable. neighbourhood that had a great patisserie nearby we loved and other essentials within 5 minutes.
The place was very clean when we arrived. The kitchen was great and well stocked with dishes and cookware. Loved the induction stovetop. There was also a cereals, yogurt, and milk that was put aside for guests. :)
By far my favourite part of the place and why I booked it, is how stylish it is!  The pictures are 100% accurate. But the couch and bed were also comfortable too.
Throughout booking and our stay, Zhenwei's responses were always very fast. He was reliable in that way.
This place would be great for a couple or one person too!

So-sos
I am not someone who likes to nitpick but I had slightly different expectations. The biggest problem was that check-in was not as simple as I would have liked. The key was a bit hard to retrieve from its secret location. It took us about five minutes to get into the place. Then, after our 6 hour flight and 1.5 hour train rides, notably cranky and tired, we couldn't find the piece of paper with the wifi password on it. There was transportation information laid out but the wifi paper was placed on top of the fridge, the only  place we didn't look. We had to go out and find free wifi in order to message Zhenwei for instructions on where to find it. It also felt really uncomfortable searching the place for it, which leads me to last issue.

This is not a real issue for everyone, but our lovely host definitely lives here while people aren't renting. A little bit of evidence that it is someone's home is what makes a bnb homey but as another previous reviewer said, it feels like you walked in after the owner left. I felt instrusive when trying to find the wifi because unlike other bnbs, the apartment is full of his stuff. His toiletries are in the bathroom, etc.  

That all being said, these aren't major problems with staying here. He is super quick and responsive, these minimal issues could have been avoided if the wifi+misc info paper was in a clear location or if he had mentioned where it was. If you don't mind the fact that it feels like you're staying at a friend's place and less like a guest apartment, then it would be a 5/5 for you."


Would I be a nitpicky asshole for leaving this review, or giving helpful feedback?
