Host waited until after I arrived to the property, exchanged pleasantries, insisted I bring my bags inside and THEN mentioned that there was a bit of "bad news" and the water heater had burst, pointing to some areas in my room where it had flooded.
I really wish he would have called me as soon as he found out or when I got to the door rather than wasting my time bringing me inside.
To his credit he did offer to let me stay and get it sorted however it didn't seem worth the hassle as I was pretty frustrated at having to sort out new accommodation and an Uber with all of my luggage elsewhere.
