Honestly,
It took me a long while to write this review.
My partner and family insisted I tell the truth even if it seemed negative.
First, I'm pregnant t, and Johanna knew this.
She also knew both my boyfriend and I worked full time.
She kept making weird, skin color directed comments and brushing them off by stating her grandkids are mixed (so are we, so?).
She was VERY anal about our coming and going and asked for both of our work schedules.
We wanted to stay a month, we only stayed 3 days because we didn't even feel comfortable walking around after the first night.
Her house is ALL wood and I'm pregnant. So needing to pee or eat became difficult and started making me feel bad when She snapped at us the first night for "being too loud". All we did was walk to the bathroom, the down the stairs (on tiptoe) to the kitchen.
I actually spent my birthday in a one star hotel just so I could breathe, eat and pee in peace without feeling guilted.
We aren't loud people, we are super considerate and she tried telling us that we "inconvenienced" her by having a couple and a pregnant woman there because "how will anyone else use the shared bathroom??"
We didn't even cook anything.
Our month turned into three very uncomfortable nights.
She tried to keep half our money for the month, and if not for Airbnb, we may not have received back what we put into this trip. Which was all our money. Which she also knew.
It took me a while to write this review because I am not a negative person. We tried our hardest to enjoy ourselves while avoiding any issues with Johanna, but for the little amount she was home.. we whispered and tiptoed no matter what time of the day it was.
We kept a very open communication with Johanna and Airbnb.
We also found out she told my boyfriend and Airbnb that I had agreed to stay only a week with half our payment..
Hah.
Be careful.
For someone who has been a super host so long.. I think she never would have accepted us, regardless of the instant book.
(Do know that they can still say no, if it's a month, and she chose not to in a discussion with us).
She appared to be a nice woman, but her comments and actions stayed otherwise.
And last note.
You NEVER tell a 5 months pregnant woman that your daughter miscarried at 7 months while she's explaining the ultrasound process with you.. especially with the condescending tone she kept.
Bad first experience from a 6 year "super host".
