Stayed at Bob’s home with my family of five for a little vacation in Chicago. Had high hopes because of all the great reviews and photos of the property as well as Bob being a super host. Unfortunately we had a very uncomfortable stay and found it to be almost the complete opposite of what it had been presented to be. To be fair, I believe Bob has been out of town for quite a while and was unaware of the condition the home had fallen into, but when notified he was unable to provide any solutions to restore the property to decent conditions during our stay so we were left dealing with it. Had our party not been so large and had there bee other bookings to accommodate our group available, we absolutely would have left immediately upon arrival. Some positives first, the home is in a very charming neighborhood within walking distance of shopping and dining. Unfortunately this was largely overshadowed by the extremely dirty state of the home including blood on linens, filthy upholstery on the couch and chairs (layer upon layer of dirt and fluids cakes onto the couch and every single dining chair) thick layers of dust on all the baseboards, the carpet had clearly not been vacuumed over multiple stays based on the amount of debris floating around and collecting in the corners, and also the lovely collection of dead bugs piled in the corner of the kitchen. We also found the key in the front door to be extremely difficult to open to the point where it took us almost 10 minutes to gain entry and I, as a female, was not strong enough to turn the deadbolt. I believe it was from a very poor key copy but it proved to be extremely inconvenient for the whole group coming and going from the property. We also were not given the correct Wi-Fi password until the very final day of our stay. The cherry on top of everything was the fact that the upstairs neighbors are extremely loud. I have never heard more active people in my life, and Friday through Sunday morning consisted of two parties that went until 230 at night with what sounded like girls shrieking and stomping around with clunky high heels all night. It literally sounded like there was a bowling team upstairs. And you knew there every move. The audio recording I took at 12am on Friday was so loud it was almost comical. I do not know if they are just exceptionally loud people or there is literally no sound barrier between the ceiling and their hardwood floors. Either way no one could sleep until they did which considering my parents are in their late 60s was a very big disappointment. All around the stay was extremely uncomfortable and being in the house made you and all your belongings feel dirty. I feel bad writing such a harsh review for a super host but the conditions...
