Upon our arrival, my two friends and I felt how little the host wanted us there. We took the high road, remained pleasant during every exchange, and just stuck it out until our three night stay was over. The bottom line was that the location and property itself were nice, but not worth feeling like intruders.
Some specific examples that come to mind:
-We were told not to tell the neighbors that we were staying there through an airbnb. "Be vague." Awkward.
-Scoffing comments about waking up at 10 the first morning after our road trip
-Asserting that we aren't enthusiastic or motivated by being in a new city
-Refusing tea when I asked for it, which according to the listing, was supposed to be provided, replying with "I wouldn't want to hold you up."
-After I said waiting a couple minutes was no problem, Julie insisted on green tea, and I was awkwardly refused the black tea.
-Telling me there was no ice, which was awkward and untrue.
-There was never breakfast as the listing suggested, and we felt too uncomfortable to ask.
-Julie knocked on the bathroom door when we were using it. "Is someone using the shower?" "Yes.." *no response*
-She removed our perishables from the refrigerator the morning we were packing our car to check out. They sat out on the table for an unknown extended period of time.
We felt that the only thing welcome there was the money we paid to be there, but we as guests were an intrusion on her space.
