There was probably a misunderstanding or miscommunication with me and E.J.
E.J was very kind to let me check in a couple hours earlier that check in.
When I arrived at the loft (pretty much as described). It was obvious to me that it had not been properly cleaned. E.J immediately offered to have it cleaned again and also offered to give me a discount because of this. But having seen the mess in the apartment I didn't feel comfortable staying. E.J was very understanding. Airbnb helped me release the contract and I found another place.
It's clear that E.J and his assistants are good people and doing their best to host their guests. I hope all the best to them in the future and I'm sure they will have many happy guests in the future.
