I'm going to be completely honest, I was really shocked by Virat and this stay. He seemed very kind and accommodating initially, having even picked me up from the shuttle. We grabbed lunch, where I offered to buy him something as well as tour the WWII museum together.
He showed me the room, said there was a keypad but that it wouldn't be used and to use a key instead, but did not give me a key to my room. So does not match the description. I tried to write that off because of the rapport built and believed he would be respectful. I told him about a guest I'd bring over, and again because of the rapport, he didn't mind. I told him that from the pictures, I was surprised by the darkness of the room and the state of the tub, but that it wouldn't be a big issue. The place is not well lit and the tub is flaking and left over hair attached to the drain. The place creaks a ton, and I asked if it would be respectable to use the back entrance but the way to get to the back of the house is a narrow path that is full of garbage and requires leaning against the house to get through, so he said to use the front and they - he and another female - would not mind regardless of time of day. Also, the bed is springy and creaks like crazy, and so it seems like any turn you make can be heard from everyone. Lastly, his dog attacked my property, chewed and ripped it, and Virat apologized and said he would replace it.
Come the last day, I say that I won't be leaving until after checkout and if it would be okay to keep my luggage there, even if outside the room. He writes back to me saying it's perfectly fine and that I can keep it in the room. The female there gives me a dirty look, doesn't say hi to me or my friend, and that's the only interaction I have with her. Hour or two after I have left for the day to explore NOLA, he writes saying I need have my stuff out. I ask as to why and he won't give explanation. Next thing I know, he's gone in my room without consent (unsure of how many other times this has been done), grabbed my luggage, decided against removing it but has moved it around, and is saying he was not okay with my friend. I get back as soon as I can, having my day disrupted by this, get my luggage in a mad rush and accidentally leave my damaged property, being a pillow that he took off my backpack from having moved around my things, behind. I later ask for him to have it returned to me, or to just still replace it like he said would, only he refuses. I asked multiple times to just even have it returned and not even replaced so I could refrain from discussing his behavior on the latter part of the stay and how suddenly and disrespectfully it switched, but he refused and now I feel it important to share. It's not worth the cost of having to tiptoe around and worry about your privacy (even without those though, the cost is steep).
So the TLDR:
-He changes his mind drastically to things, whether in writing or not.
-Do not expect your belongings back if he damages them or you leave them behind because of his changing his mind
-He does come in without consent into the room
-The bed is squeaky
-The room is dark
-The floorboards are noisy throughout the house
-The bathtub is flaking and has hair attached to the plug
-He starts off very hospitable
-He leaves water and snacks to be had, which was thoughtful
