On my way to the unit, the host called me to check on my arrival time. During the call, the host mentioned his refrigerator is not functioning and he therefore stored some personal items in the unit's refrigerator under the assumption he can access the unit I will be staying in at his leisure. He also then informed me via message that TV access requires a Firestick, which was not mentioned in the listing amenities.
Upon my arrival, the male host approached me without wearing a shirt, exposing his abdomen. After a few pleasantries, the host commented that I was alone with my dog. As a female, this did not make me feel safe. The host continued to talk, mentioning a few of his past relationships with females did not go well. He then let me into the unit. The unit itself was not as depicted in the photos in the listing (please see the attached). There were dishes in the drying rack, trash in the trash can, rust on the refrigerator, and a moldy hole in the ceiling. The handle to the closet door was broken. Moreover, the curtains did not cover all of the window and I did not feel safe using the unit since the host lives behind this unit and could potentially look inside to see me.
There is a cleaning fee for VRBO stays however this unit clearly was not clean.
Once the host left my unit, I sought shelter with family 30 minutes away so I felt safe. Then the host messaged me indicating he had left dog biscuits inside the door, which increased my uneasiness about the reservation.
