The home itself was perfect , met our expectations and was great for our needs . Unfortunately interactions with host were less than optimal - the host should consider adding a clear warning that internal doors to common space are self locking . This cost us hundreds of $ to bring out an emergency locksmith . From my conversation with James it seems this was not the first time this is occurred . A simple warning sign can help avoid this situation .
After leaving the property James made additional claims about us somehow removing the guest manual (why would anyone do this?) and threatened to charge us $165 !!! This incident was resolved promptly by AirBnB (kudos for the great customer service!)
The host can significantly improve the experience of his great property by being more responsive and proactive.
