AWFULLLLL!!!
WELL I HAVE A LOT TO SAY ABOUT THIS RESERVATION I KNOW ITS LONG BUT WORTH THE READ! .. Lets start with at first he was ok, responded with in 24/48 hours of my messages and even let us adjust our dates due to our flights being canceled.. SO fast forward to the day before out check in.. I flew in from California and had to spend the night int he air port and would arrive in Austin at 7am.. I had messaged Jonathan 10:30 PM Texas time and had said i was arriving early, and if early check in (around 1/2) but if not could i at least drop off my bags so i didn't have to carry them around all day, but i didnt hear from him which is fine because it was late so i was excepting a reply in the am...In the morning i check and there was NO reply, around noon i emailed again asking what i needed to do further to get checked in... lock box, key pad, ect. Again no response.. by this time it is now 2pm so i had call him.. left a message hoping he would get it before 3pm due to that being our check in time, and again no response back.. at this point im exhausted and getting worried because there has been no communication from him. We arrive at 3pm to check in, due to it being an apartment complex we had no idea which unit we were in, we called and messaged AGAIN! But once again no response.. i had taken a look around the place and saw a girl out side, i thought it was worth a shot to ask her if she knew Jonathan, and she did! I was so relived, so hes a real person but just not responding. I told her we are supposed to stay in his place this weekend but cant get a hold of him, she says typical hes kind of flaky, but she gives his friends number to us. Apparently they both rent out their apartments and then stay in each others apartments when someone is renting it... seem strange to me but anyway we called this gal, i cant remember her name... And of course no answer.. By this time it is 4pm an hour after our check in and i call AIR BNB customer service, they we extremely helpful....So they tired contacting him ( in the mean time we still had our luggage and were just walking around the town with it). AT 6pm i received a call from air bnb and they said they couldn't get into contact with him either! they asked if i wanted to wait and see if he responded and i said NO! it seem so sketchy and unsafe to be staying with someone that isn't even responding to airbnb !! So we had to find a new place to stay, lucky air bnb had helped us with this... Later that night around 7:45pm i get a call from Jonathan.. I answer "hello who is this?" J-'this is your airbnb host, did you want to check in? sorry feel asleep" ARE YOU KIDDING ME SO FOR ALMOST 24 HOURS YOUR WERE ASLEEP WHEN YOU KNEW YOU HAD PEOPLE ARRIVING! EVEN AIRBNB COULDN'T REACH HIM! And honestly he didn't actually sound sorry at all as he giggled after he said he feel asleep, i responded with a "nope" and hung up the phone. Needless to say I WOULD NOT STAY HERE! seem like this isn't the first time something of this sort has happened!
