We did not stay at Ken's place. Our plans changed due to COVID-19 and we were unable to make it. We requested to cancel the day before the reservation.
Ken was relatively communicative leading up to the reservation, though in a very brusque style. However, once we requested to cancel, there was only complete silence from Ken, who did not respond through texting or Airbnb messaging. Since we did not see the place or meet Ken, I can't comment on that. What I can comment on is that Ken became completely unresponsive in our time of need. I peronally would not like to have to rely on somebody who behaves like that, and I would exercise caution if you are considering staying here.
Finally, although the reservation met Airbnb's COVID-19 cancellation requirements, we still had to request to cancel, which we did. We will look to get our money back through Airbnb.
