Worst Airbnb experience ever
I think the most important thing about staying in a homestay is Not to be interrupted. However, when we were sleeping after unloading our luggage, the owner knocked on the door and even opened it as no one responded him for nothing urgent. The second time, the host knocked on the door twice at 11.30pm to ask us to wipe the wash basin and tell us that this is a wooden pool imported from Africa. I could not believe that one could cares that much about his house than his residents. Repeated interruptions made us speechless. In the next day, he sent a massage through Airbnb app and specially knocked door again to ensure we read it. In the massage he censured us for our bad attitude in the midnight.
From my perspective, the value of furniture is workability. The pool must be in contact with water, but you also use wooden structures. There’s a saying in china: 于人方便，于己方便- Convenient for others as well as yourself. I suggest to put something on it to isolate water. Your house is not Lounve, there’s no need to have thousands of rule.
I hope you can accept my suggestion, because after reviewing the comments, I find you will only emphasize the reasons for doing this to support that you are right, rather than trying to understand or be reasonable. I sincerely hope that the homeowner can respect the residents equally like not knock the door in the midnight. If you care so much about your house, you don't need to rent it out. I know you will repeat the reason "for other residents" in the comments, but now I can offer you a more human solution. I would not disturb the residents in midnight, but wipe the water myself, and then talk or text the next day.
Like it or not, we’re all in service industry. We need to be more human. I hope you could care about others a little bit more than just yourself.
