I'm so sorry you went through all of that! I've also found myself thinking about her involuntarily since all this happened. I feel like I'm haunted now by how intentionally cruel she was in her texts to me, while also taking all of my money. The gaslighting was intense--she was trying very hard to make me feel like what is happening is my fault, and kept talking about how I had "harmed" her by making her think I might rent her apartment for less than 48 hours.

In addition to trying to get my money back, I'm definitely reporting her to the Department of Business Regulations and the Attorney General. This has to stop! It's crazy to think of how many people this has happened to for years and years.

Also woah that sticker--I'm not totally sure, but I feel like I used to see that phrase written places when I lived in the Olneyville area (2004-2009) and didn't know what it meant. Do you know where/when that photo was taken?
