We had a very strange and unacceptable occurrence happen while staying at this Airbnb. After driving all day we arrived in the early evening at Jon’s. He had texted us saying he would not be there and where we could find the key and the WIFI code. All was good. We locked the front door, found our room, settled in and went to sleep early since we had a long day. Around 12:30 in the morning someone came into our bedroom, turned on the lights and asked us if this was the Airbnb. We were stunned and disoriented. We didn’t know there was another room available, as the online listing does not say this and Jon did not tell us this even though he claimed he did. The other couple could not find their room and left. Not knowing what was happening we waited to see if the other couple was coming back. After a bit I went to see if the door was locked and if there was another key left where ours was. Yes on both accounts. Since we could not get a hold of Jon to find out what was going on we brought the key in and went back to sleep. Two hours later we hear knocking on our window asking to be let in. We tried to get a hold of Jon again but to no avail. This time was two guys, one of the original and another. After talking a bit we let them in. They were under the impression they had the whole house. We did find their room. At 3:30 in the morning we tried to go back to sleep.
The next day Jon did show but never apologized for the confusion and blamed Airbnb for the failed message. He did mention that it would be quiet the next few nights of our four night stay. Indeed, the second night was quiet, but when we woke the next morning and went out into the living room there was someone sleeping on the couch and well as the other bedroom. It felt like we were at a youth hostel. It seems to me that the owner should disclose how many rooms are available and make arrangements to ensure there is no confusion for the guests.
The room was comfortable and the location excellent. However we value our privacy and would not have rented here had we known how many people would be in this small house and such tight quarters.
