Kathleen's place is not worth the trouble. Not only is the listing inaccurate (no actual bed, it's a futon), my husband and I were really appalled by Kathleen's behavior and rudeness. She accused me of not being who I am (she claimed she heard my voicemail which she thought said "Ann" not Erin) and threatened to take my money if I wasn't who I said I was. I had to get Airbnb involved because she was acting irrationally and so accusatory. When we actually got into the place and discovered we'd be sleeping on a futon for 3 nights at the cost of her listing, we were fed up with the whole situation. Airbnb had to refund me my money for the remaining nights because Kathleen would only refund me one night. Airbnb did the right thing and quickly corrected the situation so that my husband and I could checkout as quickly as possible the very next morning (sleepless and irritated by Katheen's accusations) and check into a hotel. My husband and I were trying to enjoy a weekend away and Kathleen really put a negative tone to the start of the trip. We really hope we never encounter another situation like this on Airbnb.
If you decide to still stay at Kathleen's place, here is some advice:
1. Do not text her, use the Airbnb website
2. Make sure you arrange your travel time so that you can meet her when you check in
3. Parking is on the sidewalk in front of her place - would have been helpful for her to clarify that
4. If your name rhymes with another name, tell her in advance
5. Be mindful you will be sleeping on a futon - It does not work for me and my husband who is 6 ft tall with broad shoulders. I would have never rented that place if I had known
6. Wifi is too weak to rent a movie - save your money
