Darren's place was clean and nice but I had an uncomfortable experience. For a while, I didn't feel safe there. Darren was extremely condescending when addressing my safety concerns.
I arrived at night to Darren's place. I heard someone else in the house and assumed it was Darren. The next day when I got back from the city, I heard someone in the house again so I messaged Darren to ask if I could meet him. From the reviews it seemed like he was a really nice person. To my surprise Darren responded that he wasn't home and had just gotten to Denver that morning. I started worrying wondering who was in the house and who had been there the night before. His listings were either the room I rented or the entire house, he didn't mention any family or pets. I messaged him again explaining my concern. He did not respond for an hour. I called him and he didn't answer. Eventually he called me back. I explained the situation again and he said his friend Chuck had been there the night before and this night there would be an AirBnB guest on the upstairs bedroom. I didn't know this was an option because it had been booked long ago and was no longer listed on his profile.
Darren kept "apologizing" but in a very condescending way, and saying "you are just sensitive to people". He acted as if he didn't know what the problem was with suddenly realizing there's someone in a strange house that you weren't expecting there. He made excuses about forgetting to tell me because he has "so much on his plate". He also had the nerve to ask why if I was "sensitive to people", hadn't I booked the entire place, which would have been more of a rip off since the other guest would've still been there and I wouldn’t have known. I stayed there that night because at least now I knew what was going on. I still felt uncomfortable and left early in the morning.
