I asked the host the night before check in (because he had not communicated with me) about check-in details. The host said he would be there to check in with me and give me all the details including internet and parking. I drove from Canada and arrived at the agreed upon time. The host wasn't there. In fact, he didn't show up at all. I sat outside messaging him for 2 hours before another tenant in the building finally called him to tell him that I was sitting outside. When he did message me back on AirB&B he told me that he got me confused with someone else he was talking to and never offered an apology. He told me that all of the check-in information I needed was posted on Airbnb and that it was not his responsibility to help me get checked in.
The host made our check-in communications worse by telling me I was being "rude and threatening" when I gave him the feedback that this was a difficult check in and that I hoped my stay got better. He threatened to refund my money and come over to make me leave once me and my guests had already settled in. Knowing I didn't have anywhere else to go, I apologized to him for our misscommunications. He never thanked me for it nor did he offer an apology of his own.
The stay got worse at this location when I realized other things were not great. The living room was pictured with 3 couches, one large and two love seats. It only had the one large sofa. The back yard was nicely photographed with pretty patio seating; however, the weeds were grown as tall as me, there was garbage laying around and the patio furniture was broken and laying on the ground. The parking spot was so steep that my Chevy hatch-back could not park in it or it would scrape on the bottom. Therefore I had to find parking on the street. The kitchen was dirty but there were ample cleaning supplies so we cleaned it ourselves. I think the worst part of this stay was the paper thin walls. I could hear every word the neighbours said, even when they poured a glass of water. Most nights I was awoken in the middle of the night to the neighbours having sex - that is how badly sound travels in this house.
The place was acceptable for what we needed on our 2 week stay, but we would never stay at one of David's places again due to our poor experience.
