I NEVER write reviews, but I definitely feel this warrants one. I was traveling to the area for a concert with my friend. When we arrived at the home and ascended to the third floor, we realized it was an immediate safety concern for two females. The listing was advertised as a private room with no LOCKING door. There was ZERO privacy due to the fact that any other guest could just walk straight into your room. The listing of no locking door led me to believe there was at least a door for privacy. The door was a half door which didn't even shut completely.
The safety concern comes because any other guest staying in the home could have easily walked straight into our "private" space. There was also nowhere to secure any of our belongings. So if you would stay the night at a hotel and leave your door open all day and night, this won't bother you.
I contacted the host and let him know we would not be staying due to use feeling unsafe. I asked if he would be willing to refund HALF of my payment. He asked if we used anything (which we did NOT) we spent less than 15 minutes there. He told me he would have his cleaner check and would let me know. The most he would refund was $20 (The total was a measly 55).
The next day I contacted him explaining how I felt the listing was misleading. It was then that he became agitated and argumentative telling me he didn't "appreciate me acting like this was his fault." It's his listing. Not sure who else the fault would lie with. He wrote the listing, so that is a bit confusing? He then continued to tell me that if I wanted ANYTHING back I would have to go through Airbnb. To me, this says a lot about the character of who you are dealing with. He has TONS of wonderful reviews. However, I was unhappy. Once I expressed my unhappiness, he seemed to cross his arms and pout telling me he was unwilling to do ANYTHING. He could have easily refunded my evening. It was due to his lack of character that prevented him from this. If you are unhappy with anything, be prepared, because he is unwilling to work with you.
I would encourage the host to list the space more clearly and accurately. I would also caution anyone traveling here to be aware of the safety concern this space presents.
