I found the host a little difficult to work with. After seeing the threat of a $500 up-charge for groups over ten, I was extremely upfront about our group size. I even mentioned the type of party, which felt like a courteous detail to include. Yet I was still met with distrust. Four days before I was set to check in a $200 refundable deposit was requested from the host. I found that abrupt and a little unfair since this was not mentioned in the house rules or when my request was confirmed. Plus, there was no clarification on what exactly the deposit was covering. Was it for damages? How clean we left it? Was it contingent on whether or not we took our garbage out? I did receive the deposit back, but I wish that it was mentioned during the initial conversations. Overall, the experience was okay. I was happy with the house and the cleanliness, but it was not a relaxing or easy experience at all.
