After a long International journey of 15 hours, I arrived into what I thought was going to be my little sanctuary for a month. But is was filth ridden and looked like the run down version of the pictures.
The heating was on, no windows open, with intense strong toxic fragrance of cleaning product.
Yet there was sticky dirt on the floor, the counter tops had liquid stains, dust layer on everything, the white leather sofa and dining chairs where yellowish with stains all over them, the toilet had shit stains..the bedding had the permeated smell of frebreze and it was absolutely terrible to walk into that feeling exhausted from traveling. When I phoned Cyrus he replied saying his best cleaner cleaned apt 6:/ No empathy at all. Nothing in the fridge, no basics in cupboards and I mention this because his reply to me saying a bottle of water would have been a nice welcome was: “ the tap water here is good”. Since my booking is communications were delayed and sparse and this continued into non response. He sent by the manager/cleaner who arrived 2hrs after she initially phoned me and wanted to start spraying everything after confirming it was not at all in a presentable state. She apologized over and over and then revealed that the previous guests left the place disgusting. As a new guest I should not have had to enter an apartment not ready for check in. Also the WiFi code didn’t work and at 21:30 the next night a lady was at my door who woke me from my sleep. So it was not good timing to sort the internet issue at all. It would have been better to send me a heads up before coming by, She also apologized.Jet lag had me very tired and even though the apartment was filthy a day had passed because the cleaner went to San Diego when I tried to reach her. However we made a plan for her to come and clean and both ladies were very kind and empathetic, accept Cyrus who didn’t contact me or apologize. He in fact evicted me on day 3 after I told airbandb about it. And it caused me severe emotional distress not having a place to go during high season. An absolutely shocking experience that apparently a host can decide to kick out his guest at a whim. My advice: do not stay here unless you like the idea of being thrown out at any time:/
