I was really looking forward to staying in this Airbnb on my first trip to Chicago. The reviews were great and the owners were listed as a super host.
Unfortunately the photos listed are not accurate for the current condition of the home. The place was not clean. Dust was everywhere, the blinds, the TV stands, and the wall paintings.
The walls had brown/black fingerprints that could have easily been wiped off.
I found an empty water bottle under my bed and a plastic shopping bag under the other bed. One of the bed comforters looked dirty so we had to wash it.
There’s a white chair in the living room that had stains all over it. I worried the couch had stains on it too you just couldn’t see it because it was gray. We covered it with a bed sheet. A wood decorative piece in the living room was clearly broken.
An extra pillow in the closet was yellow with drool/sweat stains
all over it.
Dead flowers were in a vase in the kitchen. The kitchen table was sticky and had not been wiped clean. Spots under the table on the floor were sticky too.
Unfortunately the worst part was the bathroom. The inside of the toilet was dirty. The shower curtain had legit mold and mildew stains on it. And then jacuzzi tub siding was falling off. The jets in the jacuzzi tub had mold on them.
The back patio definitely did not look like the photos. A worn couch, tv stand, computer chair, and miscellaneous computer parts were on the deck. The chandelier and lights were all busted.
I have to note the host was advised of the dirty home and quickly sent cleaning staff. However, when we returned the house was still dirty. It appeared the kitchen floor was mopped and the table was wiped down. But that was all.
The host did take off the cleaning fee so they did try to fix and accommodate us. I did appreciate that.
I would not stay here again or recommend someone to. I hope they fix it up because it is at a nice location and has potential. It just needs some attention.
