This was the worst Airbnb stay of my life. The host’s boundary issues and lack of awareness made this stay untenable. She offered to do at home liposuction on me in exchange for me doing it to her and made many unsolicited comments about my body’s shape, size, and color. She asked about my parents’ race. She said she doesn’t typically host black women because of deep-seated problems with them due to her upbringing. She may overshare about that upbringing while you are trying to make coffee. Host regularly spray paints home decor items in the apartment and burns incense despite the fact that the room you stay in does not have a window that opens. When I asked her if she could tell me about incense in advance so i could be scarce, she pressured me to say if it was the “smoke” or “the fragrance” of the incense that was irritating, as if the concept of burning multiple sticks of incense in an enclosed space irritating a person was unfathomable. This dense and discriminatory communication made every interaction painful. There is a lot more furniture, art, and decor in the space making it quite cluttered and tasteless. The host said she needed to enter my room to fix a curtain rod, and while she was there she actually rearranged all of my things, putting things in boxes and under the bed and moving them in the room. Without my permission. Overall, an extremely smothering and disrespectful stay. But you might like that style. Heads up that house rules severely limit your use of the kitchen and the host asks that you not use her living room or be present when she is there. Because it is an open layout, this makes for some inconvenient timing if you need to cook. Host may bend the rules to allow you more space upon check in then bend them back at her own will. For me, this bend came in the form of turning my birthday cake I had purchased from a bakery on its side in the refrigerator and then completely denying it. I don’t have time to get into the rest because I’m trying to move on with my life, but I’ll just say this was horrible.
