My stay itself went okay. Good emplacement in relation with the airport. Vibrant street food and restaurants culture in the area. bedroom a bit minimalistic and without window, but functional and comfortable for a short stay.
There was an issue with the "desk" during my stay which lead the host to demand compensation after my departure. By desk I mean what seems to be a broken table with ONE leg left on one corner, and the opposite side attached with ONE single screw to hold it supported on a piece of wood on the wall. I have nothing against recycling but it need to be done with a minimum of seriousness. A bit of pressure on the front of it was all it needed for the screw to get loose on me, which could have damaged my computer with a bad timing. I was not resting my legs or sitting on it like the host is accusing me of. If it really lasted hundreds of stays that's a miracle, and could have expired days before or after my stay. What would have been fair ? buying the host a whole new 4 legged table that couldn't/wouldn't be afforded in the first place, or have this single screw re-tightened, and maybe this time adding 2 or 3 more of them to finally have a more serious and durable construction ?
Then either frustrated that I was not falling for this scheme, or feeling insulted that I question his craftmanship, the host went out of his way to demonstrated I have trashed the bedroom. Sending me one picture of unfortunate shoe traces on a surface, and close up pictures of a couple difficult to spot stains on the bedding. that's it.
It would be desi genuine to call that "making a mess", ignoring that bedding cleaning constitute the normal task with any guestroom since ever. especially when the cleaning fee is included
