-Nobody wants to wait for contractors while on vacation. Took a week to make repairs.
-Nobody wants to know that strangers have be walking around their apartment while they’ve been out for the day.
During my 1 month stay, I noticed things not being where I had left them. Then I came home and found a bottle of wine was missing. Also, the plastic zip-tie on a bag had been broken off.
I mailed the host and I asked him to change the door code.
He replied he didn’t “know what I was talking about”. He suggested that the trespassing thief was a guest of mine.(!) This was very inappropriate and an odd comment to make.
My few guests I’d known for years and escorted them out.
After 3 requests, he said he’d change the code. He told me there are 5 codes for my door! It’s a 30+ story building. Anyone inside may have them. I never saw them reprogram the lock and mine stayed the same.
The host did give me the partial credit I’d requested for time wasted on the repairs. Which was nice of him.
