The description was accurate. The home was beautiful, clean and contemporary. Beautiful blinds, very private. Comfortable bed, plenty of TV channels. The home was located near a park but not far from downtown. I couldn't have asked for more.

The host Amina, however was very unfriendly. I made the booking through an instant book and immediately received an email that check in time was 6pm. When I told her this was unacceptable and would cancel, she reminded me of her strict cancellation policy. She then let me check in at 430p.

I got to the home and everything was fine. I spoke to her husband who showed me the house. The next morning I was very much enjoying a rare sleep in. At 840a there was loud banging on the door. I jumped out of bed and it was Amina. I thanked her and told what a great place it was and that I hope be back soon. She responded with a tirade that included:
- telling me that I must be new to Air BNB because I didn't give a sufficient reason as to why I wanted to stay at her place, to her "work" is not a good answer.
- I need to be more forthcoming with information when I have the privilege to stay in people's homes (I paid $161 for the "privilege")
- that I was going to get a bad review

I stopped her and told her that she was coming across as condescending and that I could have stay in a hotel she responded that was fine with her and she walked away.

She spoke to me as if she was admonishing a child. I really don't know what prompted this. I was quiet, self sufficient, and respectful of her property. Yes I had just joined Air BNB but I was not deserving of her scorn. Was this really important to bang on the door at 840a? The only thing that makes sense is that, based on reviews, I look different from everyone else who has reviewed her property. This is a strong possibility but I will choose to believe she was having a bad morning.

A fantastic experience was ruined in 60 seconds.
