I was looking forward to staying at Kimberly’s in SSF. I carefully read all the “expectations” and as someone who needs little to please was okay in the minimalist setting. The price was too good to pass on considering I was traveling by myself, with only a bag, and was only there to rest. The first 3-days (of a planned 5-days stay) was as expected and good enough to rest up, however I did notice on the 2nd day that my pillowcase had small blood(?) stains, which I washed out since I was planning on laundry anyway. Yes, it was gross lol but I fixed it. Again I don’t need much to be okay with you. Showers were good and I did have parking every night. Good as I left early every morn.
Unfortunately on the 4th night that’s when it all came crashing down... a large group of people checked-in, they were loud, wore shoes in the house (tho it states not to), monopolized the bathroom and created a mess in there. One of the ladies in the group also poked her head in my living space... I just ignored her. Someone (not sure if it was the same group) also had a dog that woke me up with barks at 3am. That morning I packed my belongings at 4am I’m the morning and sat in my car til 6am and finally decided to check out a day and a half earlier than planned due to the chaos. Again I didn’t expect much checking in but a clean pillowcase, and a space of safety and rest, would have been okay. I spoke to one of the hosts who accepted my reasoning to leave early and I was okay to be refunded the balance. However, Kim then messaged me an hour later that she wouldn’t refund me because the possible noise was part of the description. What? Okay, first I ever blamed the hosts for any of the problems, instead I left because of disrespectful guests (which I agreed had nothing to do with the hosts). The 2nd host then informed me that I would be refunded after all. It got really confusing and I concluded that lack of communication was the biggest issue. In the end, I still would book this place, but pray that I won’t have those type of guests again. Hey, I’m not a complainer... Peace.
