On day of arrival, when we were already in route traveling to Chicago, we were contacted by the host saying that there was a water pipe burst and there was water and electrical damage making the home inhabitable, so they asked for us to stay in a different house for one night and then move. This was obviously inconvenient, but we were willing to accommodate. The next day as we moved our car to the next location, there was actually another family moving things out of the unit who confirmed they had booked the property and were checking out. The host was dishonest multiple times on the phone about this—there was no water or electrical problem at all.
The space accommodated 2 families well (2 kitchens, 3baths, 2 TVs areas) and has been nicely renovated. The 4 flights of stairs are very steep (which was ok for our families). Back parking is very small/gravel and owner’s car was in 1 of the 2 shallow parking spots. Temp control was at times challenging—very hot 2nd flr but cool on 4th flr
