Our visit to this AirBnB was terrible for many reasons: 1) we stayed at this unit the weekend of the flash floods in Chicago. This unit is a basement unit and we woke up after our second night to a few inches of water covering most of the basement. I don’t know exactly who is to blame for this but I would not stay here again because if another flood happens, this basement will presumably flood again. 2) When we checked in (~36 hrs before the flooding), the basement unit was humid and musky to the point that several areas of the basement were damp (e.g. the blankets on the bed). 3) The host notified us he was throwing a block party in the middle of our stay, which consisted of the street in front of the house being blocked off and taken over for the party. If we had known there was going to be a block party ahead of the visit, we would have cancelled our stay and found another AirBnB. The unit does have free street parking but our car was inaccessible the entire day of the block party. 4) The unit is a basement unit but the ceiling and windows/walls were very thin as we could hear anytime someone was walking around. This compounded the block party because there were tons of people near the house talking really loudly and music blaring loudly all day long. It was incredibly difficult to sleep because of how much we could hear upstairs. That also made us feel we had no privacy because we were sure they would be able to hear us if we could hear them. 5) The hosts were rude. Not only did they wait until we were in the middle of our stay to notify us they were throwing a block party (so that we couldn’t cancel our visit), but they did not care about us being flooded until we reported it to AirBnB. We had some damage to our personal items and there were things on the floor of the unit that had electrical wires so we were concerned there could be potential to be electrocuted just for stepping out of the bed and onto the flooded floor. We gave this information to AirBnB because we felt it was a dangerous situation, to which they gave us instructions for requesting a refund. In response, not only did the host not apologize but instead selfishly tried to lecture us despite not caring about our experience until it affected him. Strongly recommend seeking out a different room in Chicago.
