I paid for my first week rent. I was supposed to move in 2/17, but due to becoming sick, I had to reschedule. I contacted the host and he was very understanding and said he would wave the change fee. I arrived the next week on the 24th to discover I was on fourth floor with winding stairs. I contacted the host and stated I'm 72 with COPD and I can't climb those stairs. He was kind enough to move me to one story building with no stairs. I have 2 female roommates that are very nice. One of my roommates snores extremely loud. The host stopped by and he heard what I had to listen too. He immediately moved me to room futher away and said he would wave the fee. I like to pay ahead of time to make sure I have no issues. I checked my bank account and PadSplit just helped themselves to my money. I contacted the host and he was surprised also. He said he's going to look into why they took alm$500 for my first week. I called PadSplit twice. The person was rude and condescending. She couldn't give me a satisfactory reason they took so much money for the first week. I could stay at a 5 star hotel for that price. I'm in a room the size of a college dorm. I feel I have been ripped off. I told host I didn't blame him, PadSplit took my money. I ask them how much to break my commitment. The woman said $360. I told host I'm going to pay to break my commitment. I live in Jacksonville Florida, but work in South Daytona Beach Florida. If drove from home every day, it's 202 miles a day. And we'll over $200 a week in gas and putting to many miles on my truck. I drive a 2020 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 and it takes $75 to $80 to fill up and I have to fill up twice a week if I drive back and forth. I really like the room, because I'm 15 minutes from work. But I don't like being ripped off. I don't recommend PadSplit, once they cheat you, they turn nasty. Other than that, I have great host.
If I could give something less than a 1 star, I would.
