A Redditor from Sydney shared the deeply terrifying message they copped from an Airbnb host unto the world and I, for one, was not prepared for its contents. No, it’s not an outrageous housekeeping demand, but instead something far, far worse which involves “very big, fat” snakes at a place near the Blue Mountains.
Redditor u/penoos posted the message on r/australia on Tuesday. It started normally enough — hi, hope you’re getting excited for your visit, just a few tidbits to let you know about.
We’ve all received that message from an Airbnb host, haven’t we? “Hey Isabella, can’t wait to have you! I won’t be home when you arrive, but the key is in the meter box and the cat will greet you :).”
Unfortunately for dear, unassuming Penoos, this was not your regular pre-arrival text.
“If possible can you bring gum boots or high ankle boots with you,” the message read.
Such footwear wasn’t required because the Airbnb was actually this year’s Splendour In The Grass campsite
No pets! Stunning, got it. Supplied / u/penoos via Reddit.
