The place is lovely and very local, initially Max was a very welcoming host! We did not receive any detailed instructions about caring for items or the floors in any particular way, so we were surprised upon checkout to receive a message from Max requesting over $600 in fees due to a damaged floor, smoking in the apartment, and (unspecified things) being broken. We find this quite confusing as we do not smoke, and did not damage the floors or items in the apartment. My partner and I have great ratings historically, and pride ourselves on being respectful of the places we stay. It is unclear how this miscommunication occurred. We suggest future review-readers be wary of this experience!
