Xenia Living reviews in Peoria Heights, Illinois

“This place was bad - it is in the worst part of Peoria Heights, which is tough to tell from the listing. The host messaged me saying to use the provided code to check in - I explained we didn't receive one and he sends a code. We get there, and the electronic combo lock is out of battery. I call the support line and she gives me the code to a lockbox on the door and we make it in. Inside, there are dirty dishes in the sink, a half-consumed bottle of water beside the sink (not gross, but strange), and the floors were pretty dirty - don't remove your shoes until you're going to bed. The sheets and towels had obviously been clean, so that was fine. In my closet there was a pair of lingerie sex wings, which led me to wonder what had transpired in my bed before I arrived... The bathroom was not super clean, the sink had stains and the shower curtain had mold. I went out into the back yard to have a beer and be outside only to find piles of garbage in yard. Stay at your own risk.”

“I would not recommend this Airbnb. The home itself is in need of serious repair and should not even be listed any longer. The structure itself is rotting and deteriorating. Asked host before booking about early check in and they forgot. Less than an hour before we needed to check in we finally got the confirmation for our early arrival. They claimed the hold up was housekeeping, but the home was dirty. A smoked joint was left on the deck, overgrown yard (blocking entrance ramp), confetti on walls and floors, dirt and dead bugs everywhere, and dozens of empty beer cans in backyard. They then asked if maintenance could stop by while we were changing and getting ready for an event (we were staying less than 24 hours and there were no reservations before or after us). Furniture broken and stained. Doors/locks barely latched, window glass and hardware broken. Mail had been left in the mailbox for weeks.”

“We had a reservation for another house in a nicer neighborhood and two days before our arrival the host sent us a message saying they can’t host us at the original reservation because of a maintenance issue. They never told me why and moved us to this house. The couch and chairs were disgusting with stains and the kitchen faucet was broken and sprayed water everywhere. The host did give us a little bit of a credit for the inconvenience, but this house was not worth the stay”
