I recommend everyone thinking of staying at this AirBnB to make sure you have the EXACT amount of people allowed. If you try to bring more people the hosts will charge you up to $400 (I see the host updated the listing from 4 to 5 people). I came in with my group of 6 people total for labor day weekend to visit Chicago (we barely spent any time on the airbnb). Upon arriving at the site with the entire group the host immediately said that we all do not fit here and it would be against the law to allow us all to stay. We would understood if she had left it at that and let us cancel the booking and rebook elsewhere, but the host IMMEDIATELY said 'hey money talks' and tried to get $400 more out of our group, outside of the AirBNB app & policies. Not only were the hosts rude and unprofessional, they started judging us based on the size of our groceries (we had things to make breakfast and literally 3 six-pack boxes). They claimed we were too many people and were here to party on her apartment (no parties were had in the apartment as we only used the airbnb for breakfast and sleeping mainly). After all the back and forth and haggling we decided to pay the woman and her husband so we can move on. We were informed the house was 'very cool' and that the AC was broken and we shouldn't try to use it. The apartment was scathingly warm and the AC DID IN FACT WORK. The rooms had no AC and the rooms were unbearingly warm even with the ceiling fan on. Despite all this setbacks and the bad vibes we decided to make the most out of it. The host should should update the listing as it is very sketchy having so many rooms and beds available for only '4' people when the place and the pictures provided clearly show it fits WAY MORE than 4 people (You can even ask for extra beds lmao). Also very unprofessional telling us we can check out as late as we wanted but then KICKING us out at exactly 10:54pm. Not only that but then the host came in with a bad attitude making accusations saying we had more people in our apartment (trying to get more money out of us). When we mentioned we had 0 guests the entire weekend because we barely spent any time here, she said and I quote 'I saw 2 BURLY men come in and make a ruckus', to which we obviously denied. The host then got clearly flustered and said 'well I KNOW WHAT I SAW! but whatever' (She can't prove it and knows we are not paying her anymore money). It was a very uncomfortable situation as we had 0 guests since we knew the host would try to haggle us for more money. The listing said nothing of having visits, yet we weren't allowed to have any.
None of the toilets had a plunger. I suggest the HOST use the $400 she took from us and invest in plungers for her house AND a better attitude. Since she is clearly lacking in both departments.
