We stayed 1 month.
The place is accurate according to the listing.
This first day, we were cooking in the oven and the handle broke off. We decided not to contact the host right away because it was still useable and thought it wasn't big deal.
After our stay, he requested money to fix it. We ended up paying him, although I feel like it was regular wear and tear and/or a cheap oven. We didn't yank on it or anything. Just opened it and it broke. The literal first time.
Anywho, the point is moot. It was only a $16 fix.
What irks me about this correspondence though is that I felt personally insulted because "other guests would have contacted him right away" even though he then proceeds to tell me he wouldn't have been able to fix it until we left anyway due to covid.
He was also "surprised" about my lack of communication about the issue even though the whole month he only contacted us once and that was to tell me he changed the lock code.
I feel like if I'm going to be nitpicked about my etiquette at least don't be a hypocrite about it.
For the reason I didn't contact him (didn't want to hassle him about such small issue) is the same reason he gave me about not contacting me.
Also tried gaslighting me.
"You extended your stay so you were happy with it."
No, we just didn't want to move around for a while because of all the recent travel we have been doing.
It was serviceable. Nothing special.
Great and quiet location though.
