The
place
is
forgettable,
the
host
is
horrible.
Itâs
a
3-floored
property
with
one
room
on
each
floor.
The
ground
floor
room
is
unusable
due
to
the
stench
from
the
open
drain
right
outside.
None
of
the
rooms
have
any
doors!
We
were
a
couple
staying
by
ourselves
-
so
it
didnât
matter
much
to
us,
but
might
not
really
be
suitable
for
large
groups.
In
fact
one
âwallâ
of
the
main
bedroom
is
just
curtains!
The
terrace
has
a
good
view.
Location
wise,
itâs
within
1km
of
the
promenade.
There
are
however
a
few
shanties
youâll
have
to
cross
enroute.
Now
coming
to
the
host.
Sheâs
untrustworthy
and
rude.
Since
we
were
to
stay
at
this
place
for
12
days,
we
wanted
home
cooked
food
and
asked
her
about
options
-
she
said
she
will
herself
provide
and
asked
for
advance
money
for
the
full
duration,
which
we
happily
agreed
to.
First
day,
9pm
in
the
night,
we
call
her
up
to
ask
about
food
-
after
multiple
calls,
she
finally
answers
and
says
she
canât
deliver
today
-
this,
when
Pondicherry
had
night
curfew
from
9pm.
Next
morning
for
lunch,
same
story-
in
addition
she
yelled
at
us
saying
sheâs
not
our
servant.
After
this,
we
asked
her
to
not
bother
about
food
at
all
and
we
arranged
directly
by
ourselves.
Next
up,
9
days
into
our
stay
she
calls
us
up
saying
there
will
be
an
electricity
outage
at
night
for
some
repairs,
and
that
she
will
shift
us
to
a
different
property.
We
obviously
doubted
it
and
asked
around
in
the
neighbourhood
-
they
confirmed
that
no
such
thing
is
planned.
When
we
refused
saying
that
we
can
manage
without
electricity
for
a
night,
she
went
on
to
say
there
is
also
sewage
repairs
planned
-
by
now
we
were
sure
if
we
didnât
move,
she
might
actually
do
us
harm.
We
agreed
to
move
out
(she
had
a
deposit
and
had
taken
the
full
advance
money
from
us
beforehand).
She
arranged
a
smaller
alternate
place
for
us
-
we
agreed
since
we
had
just
3
days
left.
Since
this
was
a
smaller
place,
at
a
lower
cost,
she
offered
to
refund
the
difference
but
promised
to
give
the
money
after
the
stay,
which
we
agreed
to.
At
sharp
6,
she
starts
calling
us
non
stop
and
yelling
at
us
why
we
havenât
vacated
yet.
Her
maid
starts
cleaning
up
the
house
in
our
presence.
We
reach
the
other
house.
The
house
is
somewhat
clean,
but
needs
a
round
of
mopping
and
dusting.
We
ask
her
to
send
the
maid
over,
she
says
tomorrow
morning
at
7am.
We
agreed
since
by
then
it
was
8
in
the
night
and
we
didnât
want
to
bother
the
maid
that
late.
Next
morning,
when
we
call
her
up
at
11am
asking
when
she
intends
to
send
the
maid
-
she
again
yells
and
abuses
us,
and
says
sheâll
send
her
when
she
feels
like
and
we
have
to
run
by
her
whims
and
fancies.
We
again
decline
her
services
and
arrange
for
a
maid
ourselves
through
neighbours.
Next,
we
decide
to
swing
by
the
previous
house
that
evening
to
check
it
out.
And
as
expected,
there
were
other
guests.
She
literally
threw
us
out
since
she
was
getting
another
booking.
The
neighbours
there
informed
that
the
guests
came
in
within
an
hour
after
we
left.
I
wonder
if
the
new
guests
knew
that
there
was
zero
covid
sanitisation
done.
And
now,
the
final
saga.
Our
deposit,
and
the
money
she
owed
us
back.
She
said
sheâs
out
of
town,
sheâll
send
back
the
deposit
amount
in
cash
through
her
friends,
&
the
rest
in
3
days
after
she
reaches
back
Pondicherry.
Well,
she
did
send
the
deposit
money.
The
rest
never
materialised-
itâs
been
3
weeks
since
we
left
Pondicherry,
she
doesnât
answer
our
calls
and
we
donât
expect
her
to
return
the
money
anymore.
(Also,
while
we
were
there,
we
heard
from
one
of
her
long
duration
tenants
that
she
regularly
doesnât
return
deposit
money
to
her
tenants).
We
made
a
mistake
in
trusting
her
airbnb
reviews;
we
later
realised
she
promised
people
free
stays
and
discounts
and
got
them
to
write
positive
reviews.
To
the
ones
who
donât
agree,
she
responds
with
belligerent
messages
saying
they
broke
her
furniture
or
some
other
accusation
-
thankfully
we
realised
this
while
we
were
there,
so
we
made
it
a
point
to
record
a
video
of
the
house
as
proof.
