I stayed 9 days. On the last day of my stay (saturday) at about 11am, i recieved an email from the host through airbnb (she had my number but chose to email), in her email, she said:
"Hi Priya,
I am not sure if you are home or not but just wanted to touch base about check out tomorrow which is at 11am.
I will be leaving at 5pm and won't be back tonight. I hope you enjoyed your stay. We do have another guest checking in after you, so I will be having the room cleaned exactly at 11am.
Thanks,
Alexi"

to which i politely replied and thanked her for her hospitality. her email clearly stated she would not be returning that night, and obviously gave the impression her return would be after I left the next morning. i observe a common practice of locking any apt/house door wherever i am before going to sleep, especially in a new unknown place. Went to bed around 1am on saturday night, locked the door, thinking of my own safety. I woke up the next morning and left the keys on the dining table when I left, texting to let her know. She replied rudely saying she was locked out last night and had to use her "small wrists" to undo the slam lock, "it wasnt a nice feeling to be locked out of her apartment by a stranger." while I can understand that sentiment, she made it clear she wasn't coming back that night and her guest bedroom in which i stayed, was located at the opposite end of the apartment. With the ac running inside it, no activity at the front door can be heard, especially when a guest is sleeping. Her replies indicated she had, in fact, returned in the middle of the night, called my name, and "woke up the entire building, except me" with the dog barking nearby. (a dog upstairs barks whenever someone enters the building, it's not out of the ordinary).
Why she did not send a text/make a phone call instead of calling my name aloud/emailing, i didnt understand, this woman had my number. It was beyond ridiculous that I should compromise my own safety and well-being to leave the door open for the host/or stay up to let her in at 4 or 5am (whenever she came back) after being explicitly told she would not be returning until after i left the next morning.

there was one night when a big black suv sat outside the apartment for many hours with two gentlemen sitting inside it the entire time. so that was pretty creepy as well.

other than this, my stay was fine, but it wasnt a necessarily great neighborhood and theres construction going on across the street.
i'd say, given more options, look for another more hassle-free place if possible. avoid yourself the headache i was caused.
