Firstly, I'd like to say that I don't normally give bad reviews - but I feel it's my obligation to do so since Daniel was such a terrible host. I inadvertently broke one of his house rules by allowing my brother to stay over during the first night. Which, admittedly was my mistake, I was very jetlagged and hadn't seen my brother in a while, so I simply misread the rules. His response was very callous and even borderline vicious. I offered my apology and to pay for the extra guest. I even offered to leave early. He shunned both offers and instead became very angry. His words: "you made a mistake" "this is very unfortunate" "no one has ever broken one of my rules" "you should know better" - all the while with scissors in hand as he prepped steak for breakfast. It's almost a scene from a horror movie, when a seemingly normal guy, all of sudden snaps. He then vented by contacting Airbnb, but also told them that he didn't want any money. At first it seemed like he was just expressing some built up anger on me. But then two days after I left, he decided he wanted $500 for the extra guest. Which may have been his strategy from the beginning, since it's well over a normal fee. I finally agreed to pay him some money over the usual $15-$20 extra guest fee. There are other places to stay in Silicon Valley that are much better then this. It's hard enough to walk into a stranger's house and feel safe without them having anger issues and blowing up on you. So do think twice before you choose to stay with Daniel. After I left, I found a perfect place a couple cities over, with a great host. I wish Daniel the best and I wish we could have simply resolved the minor issue during the first night and have saved us both some grief. Since all he wanted in the end was money. Oh well ...
