An overall awful nightmarish and inconvenient experience: 28 day stay at Sharon’s started with inconvenience and ended with chaos. I arrive to a studio with frozen pipes (and flooded basement) that no one knew about or fixed before my arrival. The first 5 days in the unit I was without water and barely any heat at the peak of February wintertime with daily promises that it'd get fixed. Sharon was on radio silence and had referred me to her husband, who warned me via text that she isn't easy to deal with . They were both out in California in different locations and over the course of my stay the 2 referred me back and forth between themselves when it suited them. They had no one nearby to attend to the various issues and for instance it took them one week to have someone come to fold up a very heavy bed (as pictured in the ad) that I had asked for in advance of my arrival. On top of that, the person they sent, went into the units without my permission or knowledge and my personal belongings and confidential medical papers were moved around. Worst of it all though, was that of the 28 days I was not allowed to sleep properly for 2 full weeks due to new unruly neighbours that she had installed above me and who would every single night, start their evenings at midnight and quiet down around 4-5 AM. During that time there would be loud TV noise, music, dog barking, door slamming, playing ball with the large-sized dog, frequent loud ins and outs of the brownstone house (low sound isolation), midnight food deliveries with delivery guys desperately buzzing all units because they wouldn't open. Since I had already been in frequent daily touch with the host regarding the first troublesome 5 days, and was having health issues that I had brought to her and her husband’s attention, I did not have any energy to resume a new communication thread over these new inconvenience, hoping that the neighbours were short-term guests. But I started complaining via email to Sharon repeatedly, and little was done to change the neighbour’s inconsiderate behavior. I suffered from insomnia for those two weeks and missed work meetings and fell ill. The option was to stay in the low ceiling basement unit with the kitchen in full construction condition and an overheated bedroom. Finally, upon checking out the visibly drugged neighbor who could barely form a sentence, came down, harassing me as I was trying to take my bags out the front door. I had to scream in the end to have him leave me alone. He knocked down some of my luggage pieces and meant that they shouldn’t be there. Furthermore, the night before my checkout the neighbours had set off the fire alarm at 3 AM, which I informed both Sharon and her husband about. I could not fall asleep until 6 AM on my checkout day and told Sharon that my checkout would as a result be delayed (in the end with 1 hour). As before she ignored that information provided. The cleaning lady arrived while I was still packing and they next guest arrived shortly thereafter. A completely chaotic situation. Throughout my stay, I repeatedly requested Sharon to financially compensate me for all the inconvenience caused and she systematically ignored those calls. I am very regretful that I chose to stay at Sharon's. The only upside was that the images are representative of the studio that could be comfortable without these issues. The host could simply not remotely manage the unit from the other side of the country without having any other co-host nearby to attend to concerns properly. I as a guest ended up paying for it with my health and sanity. Lowest rate for Sharon.
