Joe - is the most dishonest and unethical person I have met in my life. He pretend to be the best host, which in the end he became the worse host. Not only I had no privacy with Joe, but worst of all while I was away one weekend, Joe spent more than 15 minutes in the house I paid a lot of money for it. Without me permission, he had taken a shower at the apartment, did the laundry, made himself a coffee, worked at the desk, slept in the bed with the air conditioner on. He hired the cleaning lady the next day so he could clean up his traces. It seems to me that he actually had slept in the apartment while I was away…
Here is the full story..
When I booked Joe’s apartment, I had given him my phone number. We soon became friends and I started sharing with him my travel plans in Italy. However, it turned out he was not a nice person at all from what he did. First time, Joe asked me to stop by the apartment because he needed to pick up something from the apartment, and I agreed. Two weeks later, he asked me to stop by again by the apartment over the weekend because he needed dropped something off. I had told him that I was going away for the weekend , and he was like, oh no problem I am only going to over for less than 15 minutes. In addition, he told me that he was going have the cleaning too so when you come back from the trip the place is clean, which I refused because I always kept the place very clean. When I can back from my trip, I realized some things were strange. Two of his shirt were hanging on the dry rack, the coffee machine was in the dry rack in the kitchen ( I don’t drink coffee), the two remote controllers for the A/C were on the study desk and Joe was the only one who knew where they were, one new towel was in the bathroom, the desk chair was higher that I usually sit. Soon, I realized that he had spent a lot more than 15 minutes in the house. He had taken a shower at the apartment ( that I paid a lot of money), did the laundry, made himself a coffee, worked at the desk, slept in the bed with the air conditioner on. He hired the cleaning lady the next day so he could clean up his traces.
I didn’t confront Joe right away because I wanted to enjoy my time in Rome. However, when he asked me to stop by the apartment for the third time, I told him how important the privacy was for me and I didn’t want him to stop by until I left. He was like, oh I thought you were flexible with me about me stopping by the apartment since I have been so nice and helpful to you. He still stopped by the place for the third time, even though I told him I don’t want him to come.. I also told him I was not going away that weekend because I had to work. He was planning to sleep at the apartment for the second time. In the meantime, I confronted Joe about what I found out. His responses were: the cleaning lady must have cleaned the coffee machine again.. Seriously Joe ? You are the biggest liar. The cleaning lady must have used the air conditioner. She didn’t even know where the remote controllers were and she would usually open the windows.. You had to climb few stairs to find the remote controllers. Joe also said that the cleaning lady did the laundry. That’s not true. When cleaning lady greeted me when I got to Joe’s apartment, she had told me that she always washed the bedsheets in her apartment. Why would the cleaning lady only wash Joe’s clothes, and not mine ? So Joe did the laundry.
It’s pretty sad. I was always very nice to Joe. I was always sharing with you my weekend plans, because I trusted him. I also always kept the house clean
