The host was not responding to any of my messages. When I tried calling them, the call went directly to their voicemail. The host communicated only via automated messages. In one of those messages they suggested I’d reach out to Sam for check-in instructions. However, Sam was not responding to my texts, and I had to call him 3 times to get him to pick up the phone. Even then, he didn’t get back to me the next day regarding the possibility of an earlier check-in, as promised.
The place itself was in good shape, clean and as described. Check-in was also painless, but the check-in instructions were sent 2 hours before my stay, so there was quite a bit of uncertainty about whether it will all work out.
There was also an issue with the humidifier and AC that was extremely loud when it would turn on. I didn’t bother bringing this up to the host, since they were not responding anyway. But it did wake me up like 3 times during the night.
