Our first place was basically a scam.
So to begin, I commend Airbnb for finding us a place on such short notice!
After some miscommunication about number of guests and money, we finally got into the apartment! (Mind you, while all of this back and forth was going on, we were waiting in our car - probably a 7 hour ordeal)
I would expect anyone that rents a place that allows pets to expects pets. Although I don't want to upset other guests, I did not, and do not like the idea of keeping my pet locked in a room 24/7. When I'm not there, sure. I'm okay with compromise. But I too would not appreciate being locked up against my will all day.
Add on the fact that the room I rented wasn't even the room I received! Due to another guest missing their flight, he forced us to stay in a smaller room that was less accomodating. It felt like a punishment.
So when the room did became available and we were able to move our things over, we expected to have fresh sheets, linens, and toiletries upon entering. Nothing was made available to us. Plus WE had to remove the sheets and blanket from the previous bed and make our own bed in the new bedroom.
To sum it up, recall what it felt like living with your parents. The strict rules, the hovering, the micromanagement. That's what it felt like staying here. Add on to the fact that he's more in it for the money than making it feel like a home away from home.
Don't waste your time or money and lose your peace in the process.
Some people just shouldn't host.
