Where to start. This is definitely one of the worst Airbnb experiences I ever had. I rented the room for 15 nights and only slept there 4 nights...
Mark is a rude condescending individual. I think he has deep seeded issues with Black men, maybe jealousy or envy has turned him into the unfortunate man that he is.
Mark constantly called my phone to moan about issues that were out of my control. For example, the windows were poorly closed and the intense wind blew them open while I was out. Mark called my phone yelling at me claiming that Brixton is dangerous and thieves are about. The truth is that Mark is a gentrifier who thinks Black people in Brixton are all thieves waiting to break into his house. The fact that he’s lived in Brixton for 20 years and views the residents as criminals is shameful.
I didn’t spend much time in the Airbnb because Mark energy is was the definition of toxic. And I didn’t feel comfortable around Mark at all. Whenever Mark spoke to me he used vulgar language, for example he explicitly told me “you fucked up my room” the proceeded to show me a mark that was not caused by me. Mark spoke to me like I was a child. It’s interesting because he behaved like one via his poor communication skills.
Upon checkout Mark blamed me for an exploded paint bubble. A paint bubble forms on a surface when the temperature in a room is hot and there is a level of humidity. Mark called me a bum and demanded that I get out of his house.
I feel bad for any person of color that crosses path with this individual. I am in shock by the degrading treatment I experienced at the hands of Mark.
I regret spending any money on his Airbnb. But I am thankful for the reminder that some men are just unhappy and do everything in their power to control others. To add insult to energy Mark reminded me that the room belonged to his daughter every chance he got.
Mark would also enter the room the second I left to inspect it, he would then give me a list of complaints. The last words mark said was “Get the fuck out of my house you bum”
However I am happy I got to enjoy Brixton. Brixton is lovely :)
