There was a booking glitch so the host offered to put me in another property. I was just crashing for a night so I said fine. Unfortunately, the place was a bit dirty with moldy coffee still in the coffee maker and expired food in the fridge. Since I’d only booked a couple hours in advance, I was willing to overlook this but then in the morning—right after I got dressed—a random man emerged from the basement and gave me quite a scare. He never explained who he was. I packed up while holding my pepper spray as fast as I could and high tailed it outta there. The host later explained it was his cousin who lives down there and didn’t realize I was there, but as a solo female traveler this was VERY frightening (especially as I was trying to avoid contact due to COVID). The house was very nice otherwise but I would not recommend for solo travelers or last minute bookings. I do believe it was a misunderstanding and not intentional deception, but when you’re alone that stuff is scary!
