Sadly, we had to cancel our trip and the host declined to refund our cleaning fee (as per the cancellation policy) despite originally agreeing to do so after we got in touch the day before. He was very quick to respond to messages up until our request for the refund, replying only after the booking had expired. Hopefully you don't need to cancel your trip but if you do, make sure you formally hit the cancel button and don't take the host's word for any refunds. (We've since asked him to donate the amount to a local homeless charity but have not heard back.) No doubt it's still a great apartment and, at the very least, sparkling clean.
