Caryl’s place was a very nice (appearance wise) and a clean place. The upsetting part about the stay is the communication and our check in process. My sister and I came down for the weekend for the summer smash festival and happened to book this particular place. As time is approaching for our stay I reached out to get more info on parking and how to get into the Airbnb (key code etc). The host messaged me on the Airbnb app asking for my number to text me the key code. I been using the air bnb app since 2018 and it states that all communication, payments etc should go through the app. So I let the host know I was uncomfortable with giving my personal number out and that we should continue communication through the app as advised. The host’s response after that was I feel uncomfortable giving that information out over that app and we should meet in person. Which is very weird because you are a hostess this is what you signed up for. What is the difference between messaging me through the air bnb app vs text? Luckily my sister was willing to give her personal number out . So I provided my sister’s number in the app and no response. I messaged the host yet again stating we are to check in the next day I want check in to go smooth as possible. Then finally I was reached out to. The day comes for our check in and we had an agreement to drop our luggage off early with the host. So my sister and I did so and met the host. The conversation was going good until me and my sister felt like it turnt into a interrogation. The host asked why we had suitcases just for a weekend and proceeded to say jokingly say “to fit dead bodies in”. I did not find this conversation funny nor appropriate. Again my sister and I here for a festival for the weekend. We both are girls who packed a ton of shoes, showering products, clothes etc. The interrogation did not stop there. The host proceeded to ask several questions about the festival which my sister and I answered all the questions to. We told the host the name of the festival which is the lyrical lemonade summer smash hosted by Cole Bennett. The host asked where it was and we told the host it’s at Douglas park. Now this is when I started to get very agitate. The host than began to pull out her phone as if she were looking up the information herself on the even. She stated that she never heard of Douglas park etc. I simply asked her aren’t you from Chicago? She said yes but never heard of the park. I proceed to tell her we aren’t sure how far the air bnb in from Douglas park because we are not from Chicago. We are from Champaign, IL. I paid over $400 for my stay and it was honestly just annoying having to milk information out of the host as far as the key code. Then the host made us feel like we weren’t suppose to be there and or we did something wrong. I did not appreciate the interrogation and wondered did any other guests that were staying get questioned like I did. I would never stay here again, it’s just the principal of being respectful and we were disrespected by being questioned like criminals.
