Hipster Bachelor Pads
I wish I had paid more attention to the reviews before booking this place—now I regret it. The host, who used two different names, was one of the worst parts of the entire experience: rude, confrontational, and constantly trying to start arguments.

They’ll smile while lying straight to your face. It’s not worth the stress or the cost. Save yourself the trouble and choose somewhere more trustworthy.
