I booked two nights at this place. The day I arrived I took a shower and it was cold water it didn’t bother me so much because it
was hot out and I had somewhere to be at 5 o’clock. The next morning I took another shower and same thing cold water. Also there is an air
conditioner in the window but there’s no screen or actual window, it’s a piece of broken plastic in it’s place with some tape, covering the hole of the window and when I came back that day it had fell to the inside of my room and it had rained and most of my luggage was sopping wet.
It was completely open to the outside. When I had seen that I packed up and left immediately.
I did contact the host to let him know about the cold water and he said no one else complained and he checked it in the kitchen and bathroom and said it was not cold and not hot but warm. Taking a shower with your entire body is different than running your hand under it.
I also did reach out to him about my luggage and he did not respond to that message. And yes I did ask for some money back but he declined.
This is what he sent me. “Please DO NOT leave the doors opened or unlocked while in or out the home. Stay safe not sorry.”
He did agree to let me leave the back door open while I was in the kitchen but if I left that area I had to close it and lock it.
This definitely is not a safe area but that’s not his fault.
Luckily I found somewhere nice to stay my second night and it ended up being the same amount when taking into account his higher cleaning fee and the place I stayed at lower cleaning fee.
All that being said I’m glad I found a second place to stay because I found a wonderful safe area in Chicago to stay. It had nice stores nice little restaurants much closer to downtown Chicago and I felt completely safe. And was able to walk around and ride my bike
for hours comfortably. And I’m not saying this because I was upset with my experience. The place I found truly was a gem, it was more little North and a bit west about 25 minutes away.
