Before settling in to your Air BnB, be sure the host sticks around while you check for cleanliness and check to see if things are not broken: Like doors hinges, soap dishes etc.
Our host was gracious, but he walked us to the door and immediately exited: Perhaps he noticed we looked tired and needed to settle in.
We were so excited when we arrived to our Air BnB, we dragged our luggage in and sat down to rest. Shortly after we noticed the mildew in the bathroom, stained rugs, fingerprints all over the glass table, food splattered in the microwave, a broken wall soap dish etc: Needless to say, we spent our Saturday evening disinfecting and cleaning what the “ cleaning crew” missed during their “2 hour” cleaning stint.
Definitely check everything out before the host leaves, take pictures and save all your correspondences .
However, it’s not all bad, other than the lack of cleanliness inside the apartment our host , Jan, was gracious and promptly responded to our messages. Also, the apartment is spacious and the location is centralized.
