I don’t write negative reviews but I feel compelled to share some details about our stay for the sake of other Airbnb'ers. For context, we flew to Chicago (from SF) to get married in a small outdoor (and very cold!) ceremony. We wanted a nice, spacious place to stay for the weekend. The home itself is actually really great. However, our disappointing interactions with the host turned what was supposed to be a happy weekend focused on our wedding into constantly having to deal with negativity from the host. We were subjected to constant constant constant needling from our host. Reminding us about this rule or that rule or this thing or that thing. The tone of all communications were that of an annoyed parent to a misbehaving child - condescending and accusatory without actual accusations. Setting aside the general communications pain we felt, some specific examples: (1) we never ever felt actually comfortable the entire weekend. We didn’t see any cameras inside but honestly felt like we were being watched at all times. In part perhaps because while the listing says there aren’t any “security cameras on property” we spotted at least two, one at each entrance to the house, which undermined our trust that there weren’t others; (2) my barefoot partner stepped and cut her foot on a shard of glass that we had to remove with. Consistent with his other communications, when I shared this with the host (for his cleaners to be aware of) he suggested that perhaps we had dropped and broke something made of glass (we didn’t); and the final straw (3) our check out time via the Airbnb App was 11am; the host emailed us the night before confirming the same (“Check-out is at 11am”) but then the next morning at 8:30am he insisted that check out was at 9am and the cleaners were on their way and we had to leave asap. We had to scramble to be out by 10:30am. I honestly could go on and on for another 1,000 words but frankly don’t want to relive this experience any more than is necessary to warn others. This was my 41st Airbnb stay spanning nine years on this site and I can say without reservation this was the most difficult host I’ve ever had to deal with. If you place a premium on being treated like an adult by the host, being able to relax on your trip, or simply being left alone during your stay, consider booking elsewhere. I find zero satisfaction having to submit this review but honestly feel compelled to do so for the sake of others on this platform.
