My stay at Marsh’s place was strange. In the beginning, he accepted my reservation. But then, he sent me a random inbox after ignoring my questions about parking. Marsh inboxed me saying he wanted to take back my reservation because I had no reviews and lived close to Washington, DC. He claimed his guests that have no reviews and live close to Washington, DC always wreck his house. Then, he sent house rules that were not in the original listing, where no get togethers were allowed. This rule was not in the original listing. If it was, I would not have chosen his space. I booked for six guests so I assumed he knew it would be a get together. While I understood that his past experiences were bad, I felt it was unfair to judge my guests and I because of it, and I let him know that. I also assured him that if it was really a problem, I would request a cancellation. He felt a cancellation and refund was best, but didn’t want to hand out my refund. I needed to contact Airbnb support because he was ignoring my messages. Once Airbnb support talked to him, he went ahead and accepted the reservation. Once my reservation day came, I couldn’t get into the house because the code was wrong. I kept calling, texting, and messaging him, but he wasn’t responding as I was waiting outside for 15-20 minutes. Once I contacted Airbnb support, he finally responded and assisted me. The living room TV didn’t work, so I don’t know why it was advertised. My guests and I couldn’t watch a movie. In the night, I set off the fire alarm by cooking with the fire too high. I let Marsh know it was my fault, but he accused me of smoking in the building! Marsh also let me know he could accommodate one car for parking. We had followed his instructions carefully, even taking a picture to show him our parking spot. He let us know we correctly followed his instructions. At 8am the next day, he sent me a text message saying that the neighbors were upset because of the parking situation, even though we had followed his directions closely. We had to rush out of Marsh’s space before checkout because of a mistake on his part. The space was relatively okay but his attentiveness was off and he got too smart aleck. I would never recommend Marsh’s place for guests staying overnight, especially from somewhere far. It was a peculiar experience.
