Address on listing and directions given by host did not match up and we were sent to the wrong place. We were getting in late (2 am) and things didn't seem right, but after a 7 hour drive and with a race the following morning, we were suspicious and confused but just happy the code worked and we had a place to sleep. Reception in town was spotty so I only had screenshots of the host's directions to go off of and didn't look further into the issue, though I planned to the following day.
After our race, we returned to the apartment we had slept in the night before to find another family in it with a note on the door saying the owner had no idea who we were or how we got in, and that he had all our belongings. We called Jim and we discovered that he had given us information for the wrong listing. He was very nice and relatively prompt with bringing our things to us and offered to let us stay in the place we had actually reserved for the weekend. After all the confusion and uncertainty we did not feel comfortable staying and ended up driving a few hours and getting a hotel.
I believe it was an honest mistake on his part, but one that could have gone seriously wrong. As two young women traveling by ourselves, it is scary to think that we could have been walking in on other guests or vice versa. Thankfully we did not run into anyone else in the apartment, but I imagine walking into an occupied apartment at 2 am would not have gone over well for either party.
