1. Make sure you tell guests you don’t have DSTV (especially Sports fanatics like me) and a functioning TV for Netflix.
2. Give proper directions for parking (where your guests must park).
3. Make sure guests do not bring pets into your apartments ( not everyone is a pet lover). During my stay in Apartment 1205 I had serious issues with pet hair left by the previous guest.
4. Make sure the apartment is prepared properly (I had a wet carpet which cause damp during my two nights in apartment 1205.
5. Ensure your TV and remotes are functional.
6. Be receptive to complaints by your guests and change your attitude when you get criticised.
6. Advertise apartment 1205 as a student or backpacker type apartment and not a premium apartment.
7. My host (Charmaine) was extremely rude when I pointed out some of the above issues, to a point where she suggested I not come back to her apartment next time.
8. She even threatened to give me a negative review on Air B and B if I continue complaining about her service offering (apartment is not marketed correctly, it is more of a backpacker/student type of accommodation),
9. If you are looking for a premium accommodation do not book apartment 1205.
10. After complaining to my host about the above issues, I was given so much attitude, when I requested information I was ignored, on my last night I was not given cutlery, no coffee cups nor cups for drinking water.
11. I had a terrible experience would not recommend anyone booking apartment 1205 if you are looking for anything other than a backpacker type of accommodation.
12. Overall I had a terrible experience in Charmaine’s apartment 1205.
