I was supposed to stay at Briscia’s AirBnB home for a month (beginning August 26), but I cut it short (for less than a week) because of the unpleasant situation at the time of my stay. First of all, there was supposed to be only one other guest (Robert who was mentioned by other guests in their feedback) but it turned out that another guest (and his cat) has moved in to stay with him. Three people (including me) and three indoor cats in a small house is too crowded in my opinion. What made it worse is that the other guest has not finished moving and so there were piles of boxes in the living room which made that shared space (including the kitchen table) unusable (and messy). The host also assigned me a fridge that is outside of the house which I found weird and unacceptable (beside being dirty inside-out). My guess is that the fridge is the other guest’s fridge which had to stay outside since there was really no space for it inside the house. Note that the kitchen is very small (i.e., narrow) and so you will have to literally take turns in using the kitchen. So, for me who intended to live in that house for a month (and maybe more), the whole living setup and conditions were not acceptable. Fortunately, while my bedroom is small, it was clean/comfortable enough with a connected private bathroom as advertised.
Okay - unexpected things happen but the most disappointing part for me I thought were the following:
-	The host had every opportunity to notify me that the living situation has changed (as early as two weeks before my move-in date) but they did not
-	I felt that the host did not even attempt to address the messy situation during my stay or at least made the place “presentable” when I arrived
-	Although I did not ask, they could have offered a prorated reduction in the rental rate (not a discount) since I was not able to use the shared space
-	Most importantly, the host never apologized. It would have made a great difference if they did.
Finally, when I left, I told the host to update their website to alert potential guests of the current situation to avoid similar problems which they did. The last time i checked, the website indicated that the house is “under renovation”.
