Here we go... On the first day our host warned us of his "moods." As we ate our meals, Jim would without asking, show us photos of the nude models he photographs. As long as we hung out with him, he was nice to us and lenient of rules, as soon as we said we were busy he began retaliating in different ways. Right out of the gate, he had one of his "models" stay at the house without letting us know this was happening ahead of time. We didn't know anything about this stranger staying just feet away from our belongings on the couch. Quiet hours were from 11pm - 6am every day, that being said, I was scolded for showering after 11pm and told we were not allowed to talk or even go outside after 11 pm, including no kitchen use- even just for water. He charges $15/day for kitchen use, excluding the microwave and toaster. After complying, he still tried to invoice us $500+ dollars because he said he was taking out the trash and we were using paper towels, we purchased our own paper towels and plates to avoid further issue. He hovered over us the entire time, taking mental notes of what time we were in and out of the house. Our host shut the water off three times without warning. One was to fix a toilet, one was for instillation of new faucets and another was for a "broken pipe" which happened right after he finished washing his corvette in the driveway. Important note: Airbnb told him about our issues and he turned the water off very soon after. He confronted me in the kitchen and told me he was going to write me a review so bad that I would never be able to rent on Airbnb again and terminated my house privileges because his feelings were hurt and admitted that his ego was the reason why. At that point, I wasn't allowed anywhere but my room and bathroom. He asked me to throw my food away because I was no longer allowed items in the fridge because I reported him, I wasn't allowed outside to hang out unless I was leaving the house. Our first safety concern was a couple weeks before this when he knew I was in class and I came home to my the startling sight of my clothes now having been folded and my bed made. He went through my room and claimed it was a cleaning lady, when my friends room was barely touched and the bathroom wasn't cleaned at all. He offered us prescription sleeping pills and talked about hot barely age appropriate girls and also constantly watched sex scenes on TV and had a weird play room with little girl outfits for his models accompanied by nude women all over his office, like basically magazine cutout wall paper. We were also not allowed to make phone calls anywhere but our rooms, not even outside. There was also, no signal anywhere in the house except for one corner of my room. He was completely wild about recycling. We threw a plastic fork in the trash and he dug through the dumpster and brought us the bag of trash, asking us to dig through week old trash. We were scolded to dig through the trash on a weekly basis to grab a wrapper or paper label out. Before any of us would even eat breakfast, Jim would leave crumbs all over the counter and ask us to wipe it because it was our mess, when it was obviously him. At the end of it all, Airbnb told Jim about our concerns and complaints. Jim did not take this well. He used profanity in my face and told me to get the F*ck out of his house or he was going to call the cops when I had two hours left to pack. He lied to Airbnb about shutting the water off. Also, when we would have rehearsal partners over and they were male, he would get weirdly territorial and shut down the rehearsal but seemed to be okay when females were over. He would agree to let us have a friend or two over and change his mind last minute so we'd have to cancel. I have never in my life lived under such intense rules and regulations. This experience with our host and with Airbnb's lackluster attitude in rectifying our situation has been traumatizing to say the least.
