As a professional with many commitments in different areas who has now joined forces with an often-touring musician , my partner and I have stayed in many host environments. We have had so many wonderful Airbnb experiences. With beautiful accommodations, for sure, but with great humans too. That’s my favorite part of this marketplace. Hosting is not just about rules and guidelines but about respect, care and communication.
While Justin and Claire’s property is nicely situated with a great view, we ended up having a mediocre experience during the stay and a truly unfortunate experience with them after where they were blatantly inhospitable to our experience in their unit, which included caring for a sick family member and some special goodbyes, and accused us of breaking rules we did not break. We tried in good faith to follow their rules, cleaned thoroughly and left no damage but they were less interested in working with us than pointing fingers and getting more money from us. Too bad.
