Staying at Garths place was shocking to say the least. After reading all the positive reviews I was looking forward to going to Nelson and having a good time at the festival I was going to attend. When we first arrived to Nelson we had the idea that we could check in whenever because of the self check in and had overlooked the check in time by accident. We checked into the house and there were no problems until Garth came to our door. He told us that check in time wasn’t till 3 and I apologised for my mistake and told him we could leave and come back if he wanted us to but he said that it was fine because we are already here now. He then went on to say that he was concerned about us staying at his place and made it very clear that he didn’t trust us based on this 30 second interaction. I explained that I had a busy morning and I genuinely didn’t even realise that there was a time and I owned up to my mistake, I told him that I had been running around trying to hire a car after realising there were no Uber’s in Nelson to which he passive aggressively replied “do you have a phone? You could have looked it up.” He came down to the door ready to argue and I was quite shocked at the hostility I received because of this mistake I had made he also lectured me about parties and events (I am assuming I got treated this way because I am younger but if this was an issue I would have much rather he didn’t accept my booking so I could’ve stayed somewhere else.) He then asked where my friend was (who I was staying with) because he wanted to meet her which was of course fine with us she came out of the bathroom and introduced herself. We had no problem doing as he said because we had nothing to hide, however, he just kept questioning us and implying that we were up to something. Later on that day I had invited a friend of ours over (which had never been a problem before in any other Airbnb I had stayed in so I thought nothing of it.) Garth immediately came down and knocked on the door again. I thought this was odd but I greeted him anyway. He then very sternly expressed more of his concern he said that he had expensive stuff in the apartment and that he usually only lets “executive” guests stay. We thought this was very strange and degrading. He expressed that he felt threatened and that this was a family home implying that we are somehow dangerous (keep in mind we are two 18-19 year old girls and one 18 year old guy who just came over and wasn’t staying) we thought this was completely out of line as we had done nothing wrong and we had not been loud or disruptive in any sense. I apologised once again (just because he made me feel bad even though I had done nothing wrong) and I said that I didn’t realise we weren’t allowed people over to which he replied saying that we are allowed people over just to let him know first. Which I had no problem with and I said yes that’s fine even though I had never had a host require that before. We then left to go do some shopping and I messaged him asking how to open the gate. He then came down once again and told me it’s just a button on the key (which he could have messaged me) but he then continued to ask the guy we were with questions such as do you have a place to stay etc. The guy we were with said that he was staying somewhere else and answered all of Garths questions. At this point we were so confused as to why he kept coming down unnecessarily. He also told us at that point that he was going to turn on the security cameras to which we said that’s fine (because once again we weren’t doing anything we weren’t supposed to be doing.) When we got back to the house the friend of ours came back to ours too to eat some cake as we were celebrating a birthday so I messaged Garth saying he would be over again to which he said “cool, no worries” at around 9-10 he left and I assumed Garth would know that as he had said before we left the security cameras would be running and also because the gate had to be opened and it was loud enough for him to hear. Me and my friend got everything ready for the next day had a shower and went on with our night not thinking anything of it. In the morning I get a message from Airbnb stating that Garth had contacted them suspecting that the guy we were with was staying (despite him saying cameras were on and him leaving and also despite the fact that when he questioned him he said he was staying elsewhere.) I was confused and replied explaining that he didn’t and I messaged Garth asking why he had messaged them. He came down ONCE AGAIN and walked in seeing that there was no one else in the apartment. At this point I was fed up with all the accusations and with his hostility towards us. I was sick of being nice and apologetic. However, I still tried to understand his point of view despite us not having done anything wrong. We argued for almost an hour he explained that someone peed outside in his neighbors lawn as if we had something to do with that ?? And he expressed to us that he thought it was the guy who was with us (which makes no sense because he contacted Airbnb
