This is a good sized place with a great view of the city.
Unfortunately that’s the best I can say about it.
I’m sure Covid has caused difficulties, including staff shortages, but it’s obvious that whoever was responsible for cleaning the place was only concerned with surface appearances.
We found many dishes that were in the cupboards that weren’t clean. So we had to wash our dishes before using them.
We were warned the water would be shut off for half a day, about a little over a week before our stay. The night before the water was to be shut off we searched for a pot with a lid to store water in.
There was only one pot with a lid that fit and it had some rice and water in it from previous guests. It was shoved deeply in the bottom cupboard so either the previous guests tried to hide it or the cleaning staff was too rushed to take care of it.
Coffee cups had coffee rings in them that at first we thought were stains but when we wipes them with our fingers the “stain” came right off. It was as if they were rinsed with water and not washed before being put away.
Glass cups had visible greasy finger marks on them.
Carpets were obviously not vacuumed. They have patterns on them so you can tell right away but I settled on one to do yoga and realized how much dirt was on them.
Spaces behind beds and in between cupboards and appliances such as showers were caked in dust and dirt, as was the ceiling fan in the bathroom.
To cap off our trip, the power was shut off on our last day without warning. I contacted the number given to me by the host and no one gave me an answer and never called when they said they would.
In order to be ready by the hosts requested departure time we had to prepare without power, including showering in the dark. Forget your daily morning routine if electric razors or blow dryers are involved!
I don’t expect a pristine spot with any rental but for the rating this one had and the price it goes for I was pretty upset.
I could have just stayed in a hotel where room service is done daily and hotel staff are available when needed. And if that much work needed to be done on a place, to a point where water and power would be going out, perhaps the best thing would have been to wait until work was completed to rent it out.
