Board 8 > Ginhyun's bullshit quest to get his goddamn AirBNB key

(+) Yeah! (+)

Decided to get an AirBNB while staying in New York. The host tells me that she'll be flying to Tanzania the day I arrive. But she tells me the cafe where I can pick it up and says it'll be open until 1 AM. She also gives me an emergency contact in case I have any trouble, telling me that this contact will have a spare key. Cool. She changes the contact the day before I arrive because the first one is unavailable. Whatever.

I land, find out the cafe actually closes earlier than she said. There's only one guy there, smoking outside and he has no idea how to get the key. He tells me to come back tomorrow morning. I text/call the emergency contact. No response.

Spent the night in a hostel. Get a call in the morning. The emergency contact guy is extremely apologetic, and he sends me money for the cost of the night at the AirBNB and the night at the hostel. That's fine, I guess. However, he informs me he does not have a spare key. Whatever, I'll get it from the cafe.

I decide to swing by the cafe in the morning. It's not open. Not only that, there's a sign saying that there will be filming happening at the cafe so it will be closed all day. God. Damn. It.

I call the contact and go to work for the day. He contacts the cafe via email. They say I can pick up the key, but they'll be closed after 7.

I get to the cafe, they (almost predictably at this point) won't let me get the key. Now I'm waiting for emergency contact dude to come over and try to sort out the situation.

I have to say that I have a hard time being outraged with how ridiculous this has all been. It's actually kind of funny at this point.

Update: Emergency contact dude accidentally walked through the set without meaning to because he thought
he was walking toward our meeting place. He is now in position to get the key, apparently?

Hotels in NYC can be quite pricey.

Probably could've gone for a hotel, but I liked the location of this. Plus my girlfriend and another couple are coming on Wednesday...which makes it pretty cost effective.

Also I got the key.
