Awful experience booking with this host, avoid at all costs! Not worth booking. Tom does not communicate at all, I reached out 3 weeks before my stay to ask about later checkout and didn't get a respone so I reached out again and still nothing. Had to contact airbnb to finally get an answer where he charges $45 for a bit of a later checkout which is a first.. I should have went with my gut feeling about this the moment I didn't get a reply within a week.
Day of my arrival, check in was at 5pm, and I heard nothing from him even though I told him what time I'd be there before that time. Arrived and could not get a hold of him and same with airbnb. I was left STRANDED with no place to stay at 11pm - very unsafe!! Worst experience ever. I hope no one ever has to go through this and I've given my warning to others on how awful Tom is.
