This is one of the worst Airbnb experiences I had. The host asked me several times about when I will arrive, first I replied saying I will arrive around noon time, the host said perfect. Then I told the host I will arrive around 12:30, the host replied in French saying checkin is 1400 while I was already on the train heading to Bordeaux. I arrived at the door in the rain without an umbrella, called the host hoping the previous “perfect” reply meant that I could access the apartment or at least put my luggage in there at the moment. However, I got a big harsh NO and got yelled at over the phone with the host kept stressing that I should come back to the apartment at 1400 to checkin. So I was left in the rain with nowhere to go for almost two hours.
The host also said to call the cleaning lady and see if I could checkin earlier and would call me back, but never returned my call.
The host never showed up during the entire stay, but messaged me several times at midnight and early in the morning asking when do I leave. I felt like I wasn’t welcomed and was expected to leave as soon as possible.
I was really disappointed how I was being treated and hoping no one else gets treated in this way in the future.
