I hate to do this but I have to be completely honest. On the fourth day of our five day stay in this Airbnb, my boyfriend was advised by one of the other tenants that they were able to see us through the windows despite the shades being closed. He stated he saw us naked and I’m sure others saw us naked and being intimate. It was extremely embarrassing. I immediately messaged the superhost who advised us we had blackout shades. I reminded her the shades are white not black. Once we returned to our Airbnb, I had the concierge come to our room to verify exactly what the other guests had seen. The concierge took photos of my boyfriend inside the room through the window. The crazy part of that we both hate being cold so every night we slept with the heater on which still illuminated the room throughout the night. On the last night of our stay, the concierge suggested covering the large window with the throw from the bed for privacy.
After advising the host of the experience, the only thing we received from the host was an apology. I would strongly suggest the host change the window treatments immediately before someone else ended up in the same situation. In addition, we feel as though we’re entitled to a refund of our stay for this horrible predicament. Given that we were on the first floor, there’s no telling how many people were able to see us, and honestly, it makes me stick to think about it.
