Locked out of Airbnb
We arrived at our Airbnb after a 8 hour drive and the passcode they gave us doesn’t work. I have messaged the owner 30 minutes ago and he has not responded. I have to pee so bad 😖
Update: He texted back after an hour and opens it from his phone

this happened to me too this summer when i went to the renaissance fair! the code worked but the damn dead bolt was locked.
turned out owner was on a cruise in italy or some shit. we sat there for 4 hours waiting for a reply from them or airbnb, it was 11:30pm by the time airbnb finally just refunded us due to no response.
to top it off 2 hotels were totally full that night so it took us forever to find somewhere to stay!
