I had a pretty poor experience while staying here overall. The first hassle arose when I tried to check in on the day my reservation started. Nate had to be away from home at work from about 7am to 7pm. This only left two very narrow time frames to get my belongings to the listing and collect a key. He needs a lockbox like others on Airbnb. Also, the home's ambiance isn't anything to write home about and the bathroom was pretty dirty when I arrived.

My biggest complaint is that the two windows in the room have large metal shutters over them. These open with a crank but this was broken when I arrived. Although that was an inconvenience in itself, what made matters worse is that Nate accused me of breaking the shutters after I left. This was infuriating because it was impossible for me to even damage the shutters in the way he alleged. He said that I broke the internal cable in the crank box but that would have been impossible to do with a crank handle that was in two pieces when I arrived (it was missing the cotter pin that holds it together). Very disappointing overall. I just hope Airbnb doesn't soak me for his maintenance costs (the thing looked like it was about 30 years old anyway and probably hasn't worked since he bought the place).
