Poor communication and we had an avoidable situation (previous guest hadn't moved out and host did not communicate it).
We were alarmed with a knock on our door by previous guest ranting that it was his room and all his stuff was piled in living room, making that room unusable, on top of the strange (and scary) situation of a stranger ranting. Host should have communicated to previous guest and to me about the possible encounter. Jerry's answer, when told about the encounter was not to apologize and take care of it, but rather to have me give them his personal number. I did not want nor should I have had to get involved . My girlfriend was spooked and we were very uncomfortable in the room, with the previous guest lingering in Living room . Nice place, good price, but felt unsafe with access from previous guest.
