The property was clean and easy to get to and is in an amazing location; however, we had a HORRIBLE experience with our host.

When I read the reviews prior to renting the property, all I saw were positive details concerning previous renters interactions with George, so naturally I felt very comfortable booking the location. I am not sure if George was having a particularly bad day when we checked in, but I have NEVER experienced a more aggressive or rude interaction before in my life.

My flight was delayed and I arrived at the property a few hours after my friends did. George was prompt and greeted them immediately and went through the rules of the house, which one concerned the locking of the side corridor door that led to the entrance of the rental property. This was stressed and my friends were aware that they needed to ensure it was locked at all times, especially upon our leaving of the house.

When I finally arrived, we were all very excited and started to unpack and visit with local friends. My friend forgot to shut the side door while my other friend ran to the corner of the block to grab snacks & drinks. I was there for perhaps 10 minutes, when George angrily knocked on our door. I went out to introduce myself and without a pause, he began to yell at me about the opened door (which at the time I had no idea about), and I mean YELL at me. I was so shocked that I didn't know what to say. I kept apologizing and explained that I just arrived, but he continued to scream at me that there were no "excuses" for our behavior. He said that his house had been robbed once when forgetful guests didn't lock the door when they left for the day. I apologized profusely and tried to explain that we were not leaving, but simply sitting in the main room. I then said I was sorry that he had been robbed and he yelled, "Why are you sorry? You didn't rob me!" He then threatened to cancel our reservation, kick us out right then, and report us to airbnb. I kept apologizing and began to feel scared with how angry he was, and how aggressive he was being. He then demanded to speak to my friends, but I told him I would speak to them to save them from such verbal abuse, but he insisted. He then proceeded to yell at them even though they were apologizing that it hadn't been open for more than 20 minutes. He threatened to kick us out again, then left as our friend was coming back. We were so shocked and intimidated that we talked about leaving, but realized we had no money to pay for our stay elsewhere. We triple checked all doors after that and left for most of the day as we didn't want to run into him again.
