Upon arriving to the location I contacted the host because I was lost and there were no lights on the exterior or interior of the property. I did not get a response, though the message was read. Once I decided to use my cellphone flashlight to guide me around the property and found the entry door actually on the side of the property (not disclosed on the listing), I entered the property and turned on the lights. Upon turning on the lights I found a window near the entry door open. As a woman staying alone in a new area, coming to a property in the dark with no exterior lights on, and then entering the property to find a window open can be very unsettling. I reached back out to the property owner expressing my concerns and I continued to hear nothing back. I walked through the property on the phone with my partner checking for potential intruders, only to find an additional window open in the bedroom. At this point, I am alarmed and off guard, the host finally messages back stating they were there earlier to clean and that lights were left on. This clearly was not the case because no lights were on upon my arrival, and the property was covered in dried worms and insects, as well as dirt/webs and live insects. The host then says they left the windows open as a Covid policy - which was a relief to hear, but again should have been communicated prior to my arrival instead of left as a total surprise. After communicating this to the host with my other concerns with the property, the host responded in a demeaning manor insinuating I didn’t like their small town and it’s not meant for everyone (as if I was being snobby) when in reality I loved the location and my disappointment was in the property listing, not the area. The entire experience left me entirely uncomfortablek to stay and I ended up having to find a last minute alternate stay.
