I had little contact with the guy. I mentioned my flight would arrive at 11 AM, to which he replied come anytime you like.
I arrived at 2:30 pm, and I texted him already in advance when I was coming, but no reply- I texted - I called, and there was radio silence. I knocked on the door, and I was sitting in front of his door. I called AIRBNB, and they called him, texted him and emailed him, and they also did not hear anything. I was stranded in London in the cold. Airbnb helped me OK.
The host later said sorry and that I could have just come to his restaurant?! Next door... Well, I was standing and sitting in front of it. Second of all, if you know you are hosting, why would you not look on your phone- he claimed he never saw it; I don't know if I should believe that because Airbnb also tried to contact him for more than 45 min.
This was a terrible experience.
!!! Ps. The photo in the advent shows a green wall where his door is that green is painted purple now next to a fast food restaurant. !!!
