I booked this apartment in September 8 for three nights from October 6, 2022. On Oct 4, I contacted the host for check in instructions. The host responded " I am all set" without providing any of the instructions requested. I raised my concern to Airbnb, and I was told they contacted the host and everything was ok, that he is allowed and will provide me the info requested 24 hrs before my check in time. Later on, 16 hrs before my check in time, the host cancelled the reservation offering a refund upon my request ( funny), arguing the apartment was damaged from previous user. Ultimately I had to contact Airbnb to confirm the cancellation, change my stay plan to a shorter time and at a more expensive rate for this cancellation. After some hours lost on the phone, Airbnb indicated the full payment was refunded and offered a short term compensation that will expire in a month, so most likely I will lose it . Now waiting on the bank. Be aware , I found out most of the posted reviews on this host are not pertaining to this apartment in Chicago. Be very cautious if planning on using this unit. Based on my unfortunate experience. Not recommended.
