When I arrived, unfortunately Andrea was not there. Instead he had two friends staying who were going to be there, and they greeted me. They played loud music and occupied the living room space, and it just wasn’t as clean or as respectful as I expected and paid for. Airbnb allows hosts with private rooms to invite whomever they want. I recognize that Andrea didn’t violate any policy and I understand he’s allowed to have whomever. I was just personally uncomfortable staying at a place where the host wasn’t there and the people who were staying there were not vetted by the company. He also did not communicate to me that he was not going to be there before I arrived. if you would like a funky space in a great location and don’t really care about who’s sharing the space with you, then this is perfect. I just would not recommend this for everyone, especially those who want some personal space.
