I originally booked this rental for a 13-day stay in Chicago but ended up staying only 4 days. The only reason I did not leave immediately was because it was extremely difficult to find alternative accommodation at short notice in the area where I wanted to stay.The issue was not a single defect but the overall condition of the property. From the moment I arrived, it became clear that this rental did not provide the level of quality, comfort, or maintenance that could reasonably be expected given the price paid.The rented space is located within a house divided into several rental units. It is cramped, poorly designed, poorly lit, and uncomfortable. The layout also contributes to a feeling of confinement and lack of space.The overall condition of the property showed clear signs of age, lack of maintenance, and lack of renovation, with a persistent musty odor, insufficient overall equipment, and a space that was not functional for everyday use.I spent a large part of those 4 days documenting the issues, communicating with the host and Vrbo, and searching for alternative accommodation instead of enjoying my vacation.The host repeatedly presented alternative solutions, but the main issue was never truly addressed: the overall condition of the property. Most discussions focused on solutions that minimized the financial impact on the host, while this situation cost me time, money, and a significant part of my vacation. Both the property and the host should be avoided !
