Julie was misleading and not descriptive enough in her listing about her house rule policies. Julie failed to mention in her policy that guest staying at the airbnb were not allowed to have friends over for small gatherings. Julies house rules only stated "no smoking and shoes off in the apartment." I was also informed on the reservations we would have the entire downstairs studio apartment to ourselves which was inaccurate. Julie came into our apartment unannounced without our consent multiple times and harassed me and my guest to leave. She violated my guest and our privacy. She then began to verbally change the rules after we stated it was not indicated in her listing we could not invite friends over.
Julie also stated we would have access to the entire home all weekend and would have a key code within 24 hours of our reservation so we could get in and out of the apartment. When she kicked our friends out, she revoked our privileges, changed the key code and would not give me or my guest staying with me access to the new code to get in and out of the building without calling her first so she could let us in. Because we could not lock the door ourselves without the key code, it created a lot of anxiety for our safety and worries about our valuable items in the home.
I do not recommend staying at this place. Julie will violate your privacy as she sees fit, and will make you feel uncomfortable. She doesn’t care about the quality of care or safety of the individuals she host. She has a lovely studio, and all updated appliances. But in my opinion it’s not worth it. I’ve always had the best experiences with my Airbnb stays. This was an uneventful stay.
