The property was fine; the location is fantastic. Good restaurants. Red line is 10 min. away.
The property is a small group of units in a 4 story building. Common area carpets are worn. The lobby area has rugs taped to the floor.
The management waited until the morning of the day we were to arrive to give us the address. They texted us from a separate phone number, NOT from the VRBO app.
I texted back that we'd landed in Chicago and what were the entry instructions. The person replied:
"As our building management requires us to pre-register the guests we allow in the units, kindly send us the following:
- Reason for the stay
- Full names and age groups of all the guests in this reservation
- City and state of origin
- Are you bringing pet/s?
-Best number to reach you"
This is AFTER they'd accepted our reservation weeks ago. I supplied that info, and whoever the person was (never identifying themselves) said they'd text us from another number.
From this new number, they said the building management wanted to get to know us better, and wanted my LinkedIn account. I said I didn't have that and then they wanted other social media accounts. I called VRBO at this point, and their representative told me definitely NOT to give them any more info. He called the property, and soon, I received information on how to gain entry. They never communicated through the VRBO app. I never received exit instructions. It felt very shady.
