I’ve stayed at many a bnb, this one is one of the worst I’ve ever experienced. Starts with a treacherous staircase with no handrail up to the apartment. Not a single comfortable piece of furniture in the place. Beds are both horrible. No dark window coverings so you wake up with the sun wherever you wanted to or not. Absolute filth in the shower and kitchen. The AC is so loud you can’t hear yourself think much less watch TV. Ridiculously minimal silverware and kitchen implements compared to most bnbs. There was no coffee. I messaged the host and he said he’d run some over in the evening so we’d have it by morning. Then forgot to do so. Send me a credit for the cost of a Starbucks, but I had to somehow function with jet lag until I could get to a Starbucks. Next night said he’d drop off coffee but it was so well hidden we couldn’t find it, so two rough decaffeinates mornings.
Bottom line: couldn’t sleep, couldn’t work, couldn’t have coffee in the morning, couldn’t even watch TV (it was in the 90s and AC ran a lot), couldn’t find a comfortable spot to just sit in the entire apartment, grossed out by filth, nearly killed myself on the funky stairwell that doesn’t seem like it would pass code, but hey, it’s Chicago. Absolutely miserable experience.
