After all the great reviews I was looking forward to this stay. However, even though Airbnb recommends only communicating through the app I received a direct text message from the host sending me an external link to a form I had to fill out before receiving check in information. I felt very uncomfortable with this, especially the additional information asked for. I did not know this would be expected and I have never had to do this before. However, when I tried to express my concern to the host I was completely ignored. This is unacceptable. The location and apartment were nice enough (just a few plumbing issues and nothing to scrub dishes with) but the complete lack of communication was not good. Just be aware that they will ask for more information that Airbnb doesn't require and you may be uncomfortable giving it.
