Paul’s place is in a great neighborhood but unfortunately it was not fully cleaned when we arrived. I messaged him early the morning after we arrived to give him a chance to have the cleaner return and did not get a response from him. The lock was also not working when we arrived (late after a delayed flight) and we had to wake up his brother to let us in. He did not respond to our message about that either but the lock was fixed the next day.
Additionally there was a strange man walking around the house Saturday looking for Paul to fix his car (which I did not see) since he came from around the back of the property. I was alone. He followed me up the front stairs and starting telling me about how he was drinking wine and raking leaves all day and then told me about how his son was murdered in 2004. When i told him that Paul was not around, he pretended he couldn’t hear me. He seemed harmless but it was a very uncomfortable situation. Eventually i got him off the porch and he left.
This was my strangest airbnb stay thus far. I have used Airbnb a lot, across the world (Italy Mexico City Amsterdam) , and unfortunately this was the least satisfying experience. Overall it was technically fine, but definitely a little weird/uncomfy.
