Everything felt perfect\u2014until checkout. His card got declined, and he turned red with embarrassment. I smiled and paid for our stay.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1038\" data-end=\"1260\">As we were leaving, the receptionist discreetly pulled me aside and said, \u201cBe careful, I\u2019ve seen this guy do the same thing with other women. He comes here, his card gets declined, and they end up paying for everything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1262\" data-end=\"1518\">I didn\u2019t believe her then\u2014I trusted him. But over time, he began repeating the same behavior: shopping trips, dinners, even \u201cemergencies\u201d where I\u2019d cover his expenses.

That camera\u2019s for security\u2014you covered it!\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2319\" data-end=\"2519\">He claimed it was pointed outside to watch for car thieves, but breaking into our room at night crossed every boundary. The next morning, we left immediately and left a review warning future guests.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2521\" data-end=\"2658\">Later, we read that other guests had the same experience\u2014the owner\u2019s paranoia had turned his \u201csafe Airbnb\u201d into a surveillance nightmare.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"2660\" data-end=\"2663\" \/>\n<p data-start=\"2665\" data-end=\"2703\"><strong data-start=\"2669\" data-end=\"2701\">Story 4 \u2014 white curtains, ocean view, \u201crustic charm.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2704\" data-end=\"2917\">My best friend and I rented a cheap beach cottage that looked dreamy online\u2014white curtains, ocean view, \u201crustic charm.\u201d But when we arrived, the place smelled like mold, and there were dead insects on the floor.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2919\" data-end=\"3144\">That night, we heard scratching sounds in the walls.

The sign wasn\u2019t lit, the parking lot was pitch black, and two sketchy guys loitered outside.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3606\" data-end=\"3864\">Inside, the sheets were stained, lights flickered, and the shower drain was full of hair.

I deadbolted the door and unplugged the phone just in case.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4766\" data-end=\"4918\">An hour later, someone tried to get in.
