I had a horrible experience at Lina’s. I booked a stay at Lina’s for three weeks, but found out very quickly that it’s not as advertised. And she’s a horrible person that will keep your money for the days you don’t want to stay even if you’ve explained to her that someone she’s allowed enter the house aggressively tried to enter your room.
For the first three nights— it was fine, but not as advertised — it was cold, dark and creepy. The morning of the fourth day I woke up to someone aggressively trying to enter my room. This wasn’t just some twist of a door knob and realizing they were wrong—- No— this was 5-7 min of someone aggressively and forcefully trying to push into my room. Mind you it’s 6am in the morning. I didn’t know if it was a cleaning crew, Lina herself or another guest. All I knew was someone really wanted to get into my room. I stayed quiet until I didn’t hear anything. I grabbed what I could and darted straight for the front door and out of the house. I didn’t want to go back. I had to call a few friends in the area and ask if I could stay with them until I sort things out. I needed a friend to come with me to get the rest of my stuff because I was so scared. When that friend offered to let me stay at their place I messaged Lina explaining the whole thing and told her I wasn’t comfortable at her place any longer and wanted to alter my dates and cut the stay shorter than planned.
I didn’t ask for a full reimbursement for the four nights I was there. I even offered to pay 3-4 additional days out of courtesy. I just asked for the remainder of my money back or just something back since I had a horrible experience. Lina just threw the cancellation policy in my face, made up some weird thing and said she doesn’t handle the money blah blah— and basically said— go call Airbnb support.
I realized this lady was so unreasonable. She has no empathy and wasn’t even trying to find a middle ground. She just wanted to keep all my money.
