Long story short we had a nightmare of a flight for almost 2 days. All we wanted was some sleep at the air bnb. When we arrived we were greeted and given a tour of our space up stairs. ***there are no locks on the upstairs doors*** I asked for a late check out due to the flight delays and he requested for us to be out by 9am so they can prepare for renovations to the room. (Original check out wasn’t until 11) We agreed to show appreciation/ respect.
Fast forward about 20 mins later. My girlfriend puts a chair under the door knob as a locking mechanism. She jumps in the shower and I’m in the room. I hear the chair fall and another elderly man walks into our living space, hears the shower going and walks straight to the bathroom which my gf is currently showering in. As he’s reaching for the knob I’m behind him and ask “can I help you?” He says “No.” As you can assume, a very odd moment. He proceeded to tell me him and his wife are also renting a room in the upstairs. This was never mentioned in the tour, we got a full walk through of the upstairs, and the owner never mentioned other people being there. This is approx 8-850 sq ft. Almost zero privacy due to no locks and paper thin walls. You can hear everything the other person is saying even if they’re talking quietly. We share the kitchen, bathroom. Almost everything.
It does say shared bathroom in the description but it doesn’t go into detail that you will be living with another stranger. It makes it seem like it’s shared with the owners of the house who live downstairs.
We went on to pack our stuff up and book a room in a nearby hotel.
One word I would use to describe this air bnb is uncomfortable.
Would not do this again.
