I felt sideswiped by the set of "house rules" I received prior to check-in. I felt these should be made clear in the listing if the host needs them -- not sprung on the guest just before check-in. Particularly a "towel fee" should any towel get ruined ($10/towel). It completely changed the focus of the stay from welcoming to hostile, in my view. Like walking into a restaurant and being told off the bat, if I break anything, I'll be charged. Who can relax and enjoy the place when the host is going to be billing for damage? Plus all the towels and linen are white. It was super uncomfortable. I spent almost $1000 for the stay and then got told I better not ruin a $10 towel or I'll pay a fine. This is way off. I tried for a few days, but then left early. I feel this is also a system issue with airbnb -- to help hosts manage guests who abuse their stays. I understand past guests behaved badly, put clamping down on the next guest changes the tone and not in a good way.
