While the church is definitely a unique property, and quite well appointed, the interaction with the host left us feeling unwelcome.
AJ didn't answer via airbnb, he apparently communicated via e-mail, which unfortunately I didn't receive.
I had to follow up on the day of our arrival on how to get into the place. AJ did not answer until later that day and then we had to agree to an extensive list of terms and conditions to get in. At this point we were already in front of the property, with no choice but to agree. Why would you have instant booking on your listing, when you then make guests agree to an additional set of terms outside of airbnb? Had we not agreed, we would have not been let in and lost our payment.
The terms and conditions are quite extensive and make you feel unwelcome to say the least. I understand that the host has had unpleasant experiences with guests in the past, but it's not nice to be treated like a potential problem from the start. By far the most unpleasant interaction I have ever had with a host.
