I am an intern student live 2,000 miles away from home and needed a decent place to stay in St Paul (long stay, from June 8 to August 16, 2019, about 2 and 1/2 months). I paid good money for this location. I got there on my first day, and was greeted with anger and unprofessional behaviors and attitude from the host, Christine. I was welcome by a very unpleasant, mean, and some what anger attitude from the host (Christine) - at times I was yelled at. She also asked inappropriate and unprofessional personal questions about me... What do I do (here in St Paul)? What time do you go to work? What time do I come home? Where is my work, etc.,? I felt extremely uncomfortable, but I did not want to upset the host.
Since I stay there for 2 and 1/2 months, I needed to order personal items, food, and needed things, the host (Christine) got very upset at me for receiving my ordered items. Besides the host's horrible attitudes, I also had to put up with the house being dirty, since I work all day and only come home to shower and sleep, I put up with it, because I din't have time to look for another place. Then, there was the bugs problem... I took it on myself to go buy some bugs spray to reduce the pests issue.
There was the air conditioning unit leaking issue as well and the internet is not working at all at (lots of) times.... One day there was a bee in my room and I informed the host, I even signed a waiver to eliminate any liability for her, and without any prior coordination and communication, at 1 AM (yes 1 o'clock in the morning during a weekday), the host (Christine) texted me and told me to move out at 11 AM that same morning. She basically kicked me and another AirBNB guest out on the street. I had to go to work early that morning and had NO place to go and stay for the rest of my stay (of 2 more weeks). The host (Christine) had no regards for our well-being - She did not care that the other AirBNB guest and I had no place to stay.... This has been a horrific nightmare that I ever had to deal with.... being stranded in a big city downtown St Paul without any place to stay for another 2 weeks - I left many personal belongings in my room, because I did not have time & ability to bring them with me... I was kicked out with 2 of my personal luggages and whatever I could carry with my hands and arms... wondering the streets of St Paul to find a place to stay.... To this day (2 weeks later), I am still dealing with the the way that host (Christine) treated her AirBNB guests, that we paid good money for.... Please, please stay away... and AirBNB should remove her permanently.
