I have mixed feelings about my stay. Zandra is a very nice person, we share some interest and got along well and I am struggling a bit with writing this review. I was allowed to lock my bicycle on the premise which was great. Zandra has high standards and clear expectations towards her guests and I feel that with such standards, some things are worth mentioning. The first thing that was a bit confusing to me is that the location was advertised as „medical district“. This Airbnb is actually located in the South of Pilsen beyond 23rd street, close to „Heart of Chicago“. Google Maps says almost 2 miles to Ill Medical District and also locals confirmed that this was a complete different area. To put it short: it is not the best neighbourhood. I would normally not care so much also about the following things but Zandra had very specific expectations towards me as a guest and I just feel that her expectations towards the guests and what was offered did not always match. The AC didn’t work for some days, leaving water on the floor and in my room and it got a bit hot. That happens, I was fine with it. It got repaired after some days but in general there were repairmen quite often and I just had the impression that the place was a bit messy, i.e. one table was covered in light bulbs for several days, there were several piles of things in the kitchen and living room and my room was not super clean when I arrived i.e. lots of hair in the drawers. I am an easy-going guy so I did not complain and didn‘t feel it was necessary. But after a while I noticed that there were many things that Zandra wanted me to be more conscious about/ change: the way I put blueberries in the fridge (regular ceramic bowl wasn’t allowed in there), the way I locked the doors (I always locked it but the front lock sometimes wouldn’t lock all the way, please repair it is obviously broken). She was kind of strict about checkin and checkout and I just had a feeling she was sometimes annoyed. Also she was very strict about cleaning the kitchen after usage (which is totally understandable) but at the same time I had to clean the coffee machine almost every morning before being able to use it, I believe her room mate left it that way most of the time. I have to say that a lot of people where staying at the place so I completely understand that this can get difficult to handle. I met 2 room mates and 2 other guests. With such number of people in the house I understand strict rules but also expect a bit less of a mess and repairs and if someone is very strict about things then please also be correct about location and tidiness. In total I just didn’t feel 100% comfortable in the location and was after a while a bit annoyed by the imbalance between expectations and the messy situation. IMO if many repairs are ongoing and the house is not super tidy, then I cannot expect something different from my guests. After a while I just didnt feel relaxed at her place and stopped using most kitchen supplies to avoid further mistakes from my side. If the living room and downstairs area were a bit less messy, the room just a little cleaner and the location correctly advertised then I would have had zero problems with the hosts high standards. But having described it, it felt a bit one-sided. At the same time I know that Zandra was trying to give everyone the best experience possible and with just slight changes I would give it 5 stars. Just after thinking a lot about I think it’s not 100% fair to advertise it as a different location (I would just suggest to remove “medical district” from the title). I wish Zandra all the best and stay safe and healthy!
