The host did not double check to see if the parking permit was left on the table, so when we arrived at 9pm we were upset to discover that the permit was not there. The owner suggested we find by ourselves an overnight garage or we were free to leave the reservation at 9 PM. When I asked if he was serious he responded obnoxiously with, " Do you want me to produce a permit out if thin air?" I asked to speak on the phone because obviously tone does not come across well in a text, but he refused. He offered to pay the citation but not the towing. Doubling up on the driveway was not an option- which we explained- because both cars were too big and we would have blocked the sidewalk. We decided to cross the street and ask a neighbor for advice!
