Currently on our final night in Rome, Italy and pretty shaken up. Looking for advice on how to handle Vrbo support tomorrow.

We are staying in a 3-level villa. Today, our host wanted to swing by while we were out shopping to collect the tourist tax in cash. We explicitly told him to wait until tomorrow's check-out. He messaged back and agreed.

Well, came back from shopping and realized someone had been inside. The cash was gone, the lights were turned off, and a random laundry bag of blankets and towels was dropped on the lower floor. Worst of all, we found out the top floor door had been left unlocked. He went through all 3 private levels of our place.

The Creepy Part: As we were walking up the stairwell to our door, we crossed paths with a man sprinting down who looked exactly like our host. We are 99% sure he heard us coming, panicked, and snuck out of a lower-level door to avoid getting caught red-handed.

Is this a normal thing in Italy, or as massive of a violation as it feels? What is the best way to get Vrbo’s Trust & Safety team to take this seriously when I call them at check-out tomorrow?

EDIT: In this downstairs courtyard outdoor area, they left two large linen bags for when they clean the room for next people.

UPDATE: Texted him asking if he came over to grab the cash and drop the linen bags for the next group. Explained that it was uncomfortable and I wish he would have waited to the agreed time (next day when we were leaving at 5am). He was SHOCKED that I “asked him about this” and how it’s completely normal and he does it to every group that comes through his property. He was pissed I said something to him. Said while the other groups of guests are away for the day, he goes in and does what he needs to do. WTF!?

Had to live with it for 3 days as it was the weekend, once I saw the Dr he prescribed me the “SockIt Gel” and it worked wonders.

I’m 11 days post op and 5 days since dry socket treatment.

I’m down to mainly 0-3/10 on the pain scale everyday. I still take ibuprofen every six hours.

When will the pain and annoyance go away?

i’m supposed to fly in 3.5 days and go on vacation in Italy.

I’ll be flying 8 hours to Italy and by then I’ll be:

16 days post extraction 9 days post dry socket treatment

My doctor gave me sockit gel which has helped tremendously, and I have extra to bring with me + antibiotics. Pain is pretty manageable now (with meds and gel… only on day two of treatment and feel 50% better already)

Has anyone flown after dry socket? Did pressure make it worse or am I overthinking this?
