While the end of my trip was not pleasant, I held off writing a review for a few days because I wanted to give my objective feedback over my entire 30 day stay.
I enjoyed Erik’s place. As advertised, the views are great, its spacious, is within close proximity to some great spots and has what you need for a long trip.
Putting that aside, I did face difficulties with communication with the host. I was held outside the apartment for a few hours on the day of checkin as i had not received the instructions and the host was not responsive for a few hours. The condition i received the place in was not great from cleanliness to wears and tears which I had communicated to the host.
I treat the places i visit as my own and am always sure to tidy up the place before leaving. Despite all this, the host reached out to me the day after checkout in a very unprofessional and disrespectful manner flagging things that were either already there when i had checked in or exaggerating minor issues such as leaving behind a balloon. It was very odd and i got the impression that the host expected the apartment to be spotless once i had left despite a cleaning fee charge.
Given the incident that happened to me, i’d recommend anyone who books here in the future request a walkthrough at checkin to ensure no false accusations take place.
