Dame’s place in nice, clean and comfortable. However, my experience with Dames has a host was not as nice. This is leading me to write my first bad AirBnB review.
Dame did not message me any check in instructions ahead of time. I messaged him on the day of the booking giving him a time when I would be arriving and asking how to check in and he replied 5/6 hours later. He gave me a code to enter the property and ask me to call him so he could walk me through the process.
When I arrived at the property unfortunately my foreign cell phone would not call him number so I check in as instructed. A security alarm went off for a few minutes so I tried to use his WiFi to contact him, but there were no instructions and the information on the modem was incorrect. I ended up leaving the property and went to a local MacDonalds to use WiFi to reach him. When I called him he was extremely rude saying that I was meant to call him and that he had called the police to the property. I was shocked at his response and was very upset by his lack of professionalism. Once I got back to his apartment the alarm had been remotely disabled by him and no police ever showed up so I can only assume he was scaremongering me!!
The rest of my trip was pleasant, mostly because I only slept at the apartment and was out all day. Sleeping was cut short by the amount of noise from the upstairs neighbours and I was unable to buy perishables as he has a padlock on him refrigerator! He leaves a small drinks fridge for his guests which is not even cold!
Not my best AirBnB experience, but got to enjoy Chicago which was the main thing!
