I booked the house for four nights. While unloading my car, I realized I was stepping in broken safety glass from a smashed car window. That was the first red flag. 6:30 am the first night of my stay; I was in the kitchen marking a cup of coffee. Then suddenly, I heard someone trying to get into the front door. I immediately turned on the porch light and peered through the blinds, and realized a man in his late twenties was staring back at me. He said, let me in. I Said no, he repeated, let me in; I slept on your porch and want in. I said no. He then said I live here. I said, now you don’t. He said do you know Bill? I said NO. He said I own this house, so let me in. I said if you don’t leave, I’m calling the police. He then left.
I immediately sent a message to Kim. Her response was that’s never happened before, followed by it was probably a drug attic, but don’t worry, he shouldn’t bother you again.
Long story short, she gave the impression I was making more out of this than needed to be. I said I don’t feel safe here and booked a hotel for the rest of my stay. First, she said ok and charged me for two nights which I declined and reminded her I was only here for one night. She agreed to charge me for one night; however, she added $160 to the one-day charge. I refused, so now AirBandB’s safety department is resolving the issue. Kim’s description of the property being a safe place is totally inaccurate.
