This booking was the worst experience I ever had with AirBnB. From the time of the booking, I informed my host I will check-in at midday. He confirmed the time with me on the day of the arrival. I preferred to check in at 5 pm but he really asked me to be there between 12:00--12:30. However, he did not show up and because I had to be somewhere else by 1 pm, I was forced to drop my luggage at a nearby café out of the kindness of their heart and leave. The host said he will be back by 3 pm. He arrived at 3:40!
The location was ok but it did not inspire a sense of security. The apartment itself when I entered felt like a bomb has exploded inside. Even the trash bin in my room (dry trash) was not empty. He explained to me what was the cause of this mess, which made sense, but I don't understand why he couldn't ask someone else to manage his AirBnB if he is busy with other life obligations, especially because it was not something that could not be planned. He had plenty of planning time.
The first night the host tried to enter the apartment but because he did not have part of the key he couldn't and apparently decided to ring the bell at 3 am. I woke up but since I did not expect anyone at that hour I did not investigate how to open the door. The next night he arrived at 01:40 am talking on his phone and woke me up again.
This experience made me re-evaluate if AirBnB is even worth it and if I wouldn't have been more comfortable in a hostel. Overall, I wish Craig all the best but I can't recommend booking with him at least in the mid-future.
