I did not feel welcome here and did not enjoy my stay. The owner left a ton of instructions/demands, including "leave your bedroom door open during the day so light filters through the condo."
What about my privacy? Or the safety of my belongings? The owner needs to include these strange requirements in the description of the rental, so people can choose to stay elsewhere before paying.
People intend to relax on vacation. It's not appropriate for a host to require a guest to do chores (like take care of plants) or to keep their bedroom door open. Or for a host to REPEATEDLY ask a guest to leave the towels, sheets, and other items the exact way the host prefers (also why does this matter? Unless the host is not washing the towels?)
Also, the bed was very uncomfortable. The pillows seemed old and worn out.
But overall, I would not recommend this place due to the lack of hospitality.
