I just stayed in a lovely clean apartment in a major city with beautiful water views.

However the apartment had no wifi. This was not disclosed in the home description, in fact the amenities listed both wifi and high speed fibre internet.

Maddeningly I could also see a wifi network that had the apartment number listed. The home guide inside the apartment helpfully explained that if I wanted to use the smart tv to stream I could tether it to my phone. It further said that the owner did not want the expense of monthly wifi because the travelled a lot.

I am about to review and I was going to mark down in the as described category.

I consider wifi an essential amenity. I even filter for it in my searches. It was rather inconvenient not having it.

How many stars do you think is fair?

I am new to Waymo, have taken three rides so far while I visit Nashville. All rides were smooth and incident free. Plus exciting for me, I love new technology.

Last night I ordered a Waymo to pick me up from the suburban street where I’m staying. It’s two way streets and I’ve been picked up and dropped off here already.

The trouble started when I noticed the very odd route the waymo was taking to get to me. Instead of straight down the street to where I was waiting, it was going round the block.

Then I got a message saying it had chosen a new pick up location a short walk away. Okay. I trotted over to the new location.

When I got there, a white waymo was in a back lane. I checked the plate, and it was not the car I had ordered.

I backed away slowly and got out of the way and it pulled out of the lane and drove away.

My waymo was marked as being at the other end of the small alley. And I could see it. It was not moving towards me though. It appeared to be stuck. There was a pedestrian light flashing on the top, but nobody was around.

I walked towards it, and it did not unlock. It had my name in the display panel, it was the right car. The laneway was small and narrow and a bit crowded with rubbish bins and overhanging tree branches, but there was room for a car to go through.

I walked away from the car and selected a new pickup location for where I was standing. The car did not move. I got onto the chat line and an expert was trying to restart the car. It did not work. Support cancelled the ride, refunded me and gave me a $10 credit to the next ride.

I’m not mad, I thought the whole thing was handled pretty well by the support team.

I guess I was just wondering if this was a typical sort of experience. Do the cars dislike and glitch out in certain terrains?
