The host started nice, actually let me give him my groceries the day before for my convenience. But here are somethings I didn't know.
When I first came in he took about 10mins going over a list of what to do and not to do in the condo a list of over ten items! (Ex; Please water my plants, dont close this cabinet, dont mess with the blinds)... and it goes on from there he also message me set list.
I was under the impression that since it was a long stay (1month), a mail key was obvious but when I asked. It seemed to be a bother and was told that he actually recovers his personal mail in the property. Ultimately he said he will forward his mail somewhere else and gave me the key the next day.
While in my stay I was actually trap in the restroom (door handle stop turning) and while looking at the door handle it was all scratched up like this had happened before and someone had tried to pick the lock to get out. It took me about an hour and I ended up having to remove the handle. After that I texted the host and mentioned what happen he said he was "happy that I was okay". No apologies or acknowledgement of the busted handle.
At the checkout time I was once again given a list of about 10 items of things To Do at check out (ex; Turn off AC, close blinds etc) and was not only messaged this on the app but also through personal text because he wanted to MAKE SURE this got done.
Lastly about 10 days after my stay is over I receive a text stating that I need to pay a utility fee of $172 because he "only pays up to $100 in utility and this was on the notes of the listing" after I already paid over $3 THOUSAND for the month of rent and of course in all of the extensive communication that I shared with this host he never mentioned this as a heads up, which was pretty convenient.
FYI I was a single renter that works over 50 hours a week who doesn't cook, I eat out almost every single day making me get home literally just to sleep. So if you are actually thinking of being home for anything other then sleep I wish you luck with your utility bill.
