This is the worst Airbnb flat ever in my experiences and the worst host who I ever met in my travel experiences over 5 different countries.
1. Attempted invasion of PRIVACY
On 29 June, he informed us that a man will come to look at the flat at 6 O’clock and required us to “make sure the flat is tidy” without our prior consent. Besides, he clearly stated that it was for “ valuation purposes”on the flat. We felt offended and worried, yet he said the man will inspect the flat but not me and “ it’s NOT OPEN FOR DISCUSSION.” After we rejected his unreasonable request he replied “ you do not own the flat. I DO.” Such behavior is very insulting, harassing and we couldn’t feel safe staying in his flat.
2. Dishonesty
Around one hour later, he tried to make a disguised displacement from “flat valuation purpose” to “ fixing electricity”, claiming that the electricity in the kitchen needed to be fixed. Implying coercion that the electricity may trip out in the coming weeks and asked “ Are you going to adapt the same attitude (by then) ?”
I can’t see the point of forcing us to tidy up the whole flat if it’s only for examining electricity in the kitchen.
I feel this is not a safe and comfortable place to stay. Fortunately, the intervention from Airbnb CS helped us settle and apologize to us on his behlaf. We terminated our reservation before expiration and had to relocate to another accommodation eventually.
