Despite a global pandemic and the inability to travel, Julia Seniw will not refund our deposit to stay in her downtown Denver, CO, condo. We initially booked through Air BnB, but she emailed that there was a glitch in their system and her place could only be rented for a month at a time, not a weekend. She said that she would be charged if she cancelled our reservation, but asked us to cancel it and then rebook directly with her. I know that Air BnB warns against doing this, so we did open ourselves up to be taken advantage of by an unscrupulous person like Julia. Even so, Air BnB is providing refunds, so it would logically follow that Julia Seniw would too. When I kindly emailed her to refund the deposit, she declined the Venmo request--no note as to why, just took our $275 deposit and vanished. I tried reaching out to her via Air BnB, but again, no response. She is a huckster, and I would NOT recommend booking anything with her.
