This stay was really disappointing. As a host myself, I was really appalled at Sharon's bizarre behavior.
- I delayed my trip without reimbursement for one night out of consideration for Sharon and her father, so that they didn't have to stay up late for my check-in. Sharon later complained about this.
- I was given incorrect exit instructions and Sharon complained that I wasn't able to figure out the doors.
- There is no way to lock the door to your room if you leave. I didn't feel comfortable leaving my laptop/items in my unlocked bedroom, where other AirBnB guests would have access if I wasn't home. Sharon told me I could leave my laptop in the car, which was parked on a public street in Chicago.
- She was overall incredibly rude and condescending.
- I had been in the AirBnB for 20 minutes total and had my things there for two hours and she refused to reimburse me after I paid $800. Luckily AirBnB refunded me $400.
I would really avoid this place if you can help it. There is no way to safeguard from your belongings from other AirBnB guests if you leave the house. Sharon is incredibly rude.
