Question Am i overthinking about the situation. Please help [SPAIN]

So, we were looking for places to stay in Spain and I messaged shortlisted Airbnb regarding our requirement as we are travelling with our toddler who co sleeps. I asked them about bed size and if they are okay with hosting family with toddler. Because how toddlers are.

We liked a place and the host was okay with us but was replying really late. I asked if we can drop our luggage as we are reaching early for which he confirmed after reminding him twice.

We thought he might be busy with some stuff thus the delay. We requested for booking and he didn't confirm and it got expired after 24hours.

Next day he messaged saying he couldn't check the platform and if we want we can book again.

I was getting some negative vibe but gave benefit of doubt and requested again. I even asked him who will be responsible for communication as he does not stay in that place, he mentioned some concerned person and we were okay.

Now the issue is I have not seen any new review on the property, last is of dec 2024. We booked in Feb for May travel. I am getting negative vibes again like why no one staying there.

Just wanted to rant and get some positive/logical reasoning. TIA

Unless this is one of the few properties near where you want to go, find another place. Especially since you are traveling with a toddler, you want to find a property with recent reviews and a quick-to-respond host.

I mean winter and early spring are not the busiest travel times in Spain, depending on the location there just might not be a lot of people renting in this period.
