Never before did I think booking a stay on Airbnb could rank as one of the worst decisions of my life, and yet, here I am. I will copy the information I provided to Airbnb's support staff and still, it does not describe everything that happened to me in the home of Kathleen Brennan during my three day stay at her bed and breakfast.
Kathleen was extremely obtrusive from the moment I walked in her door. I have never had a host who wanted to be so involved in my life and activities during my stay - and unwelcomingly so at that. Her actions were upsetting and triggering to me as I have PTSD, and when I asked her to make minor adjustments to her behavior for my comfort she refused, belittled me, discriminated against me, and said many horrible things to me. She mocked me when I cried and told me to stop acting like a child. She attempted to diagnose me with Bipolar disorder within thirty minutes of meeting me, and gave me prescription medication that was given to her by her doctor telling me it was for anxiety. It was not. It was an antipsychotic and a mood stablilizer. I was put on a medication such as this many years ago before being properly diagnosed and it caused a life threatening reaction. When I brought this to her attention she told me "I just want you to be normal so society accepts you!" I responded, "Society accepts me perfectly fine, you're the one with the problem."
Kathleen drank constantly and demanded I do various tasks for her after I offered to help her set up her printer. She made me look at her laptop, clean marijuana glassware for her, she even got me out of bed one night by yelling for me to go get her a glass of ice.
She accused me of stealing from her and yelled at me for taking a ten minute shower because over the water bill. She refused to provided wifi information even though it was said to be included in the listing on the grounds that her guests used it too often. Kathleen complained endlessly about her guests behavior such as - cooking before she woke up in the morning. Smoking outdoors and away from her property. Being in the room during the day even!
When she got very drunk she would call me slurs based on my sexual orientation and she attempted to convert my religion. Kathleen stole supplies for my cat that had been donated to me by the Humane Society on the grounds that she had called them for me, so she had provided them.
My final night there Kathleen screamed abuse outside my door for hours. It was endless. I had to make several calls to the police and I informed her that I would be checking out the next day. She flew into a rage over this and vaguely threatened my cat. She stomped and yelled about in the house all night until she tuckered herself out and finally passed out.
I barricaded my bedroom door which she had a male friend of hers break down so she could come in uninvited and against my warning. A police officer arrived to drive me and my cat to a hotel which is where we're still at.
I have suffered tremendously because of Kathleen's behavior. I came to Fairbanks because of a life threatening stalking situation that happened to me in my home state and hoped that in Fairbanks I would be safe. Turns out there are dangerous people everywhere, but now I know how to handle them, get away from them, and warn others to stay far away so the damage that has been done to me doesn't occur to them. If I can figure out how to do so I will post the recordins of Kathleen screaming at me because it really has to be heard to be believed. I have never been treated like this before in my life and Kathleen is in desperate...

On 17 th July at night, completely drunk didn't let me sleep He pounded and beated on the bedroom door and yelled and screamed until 2 am. I just didn't leave place , because it was after midnight and I could not find another hotel to stay. She slept after 3 a.m but I didn't sleep, because I was awake in case the madwoman came into the room armed. It was a nightmare. I chose the accommodation for the high score in the booking. com ranking ,but this score must have been arranged. It's impossible for that "B&B" run by a mentally deranged person to get high marks .This is a case of risk to life and serious moral damage. It was a nightmare all night. At 6 a.m I leaved this place in a high blood pressure state. This establishment cannot be accredited and would like to make a review to let other interested parties know what they are exposed to. Of course no breakfast because owner is not able to prepare. Windows and bathroom broken I had to put a chair against for alert me in case of crazy...
