When I booked the WHOLE apartment, the listing said it was good for three people. So I didn’t pay mind on the reservation of guests and booked right away. It costs 2k for the whole apartment for one month. I asked if they had extra linens for my dad and that’s when the host told me they charge extra 10$ per night for another guest. It was me and my dad staying. Honestly, it shouldn’t have mattered because I was renting the whole apartment which said it was good for three. I would’ve understood if they charged me if there were more than three people. But anyway, the host told me to give her 250$ cash and I agreed.
When I arrived, the host wasn’t that friendly nor very hospitable. I didn’t pay any mind. She gave me two keys. She gave us a very short tour and left.
Two weeks in. My dad left for a couple of days so there was no one left in the apartment. Out of habit, I locked the bedroom door to keep my stuff safe inside, my laptop, cash and etc.
When i arrived at night, i tried the keys the host gave me and none of them opened the bedroom door. I gave them a call and no one picked up. After 20 mins of trying, she finally picked up. I asked her for help which was my mistake. She was most unhelpful and rude. She told me she didn’t have a key to the bedroom door and blamed me for locking the door. In exact words, “why would you ever lock that door? We never lock that door.” She told me to figure it out myself because she can’t help and gave me the option of calling a locksmith that costs 200$ or open it with a screwdriver or knife and replace their doorknob.
