Owner lives onsite and is not Covid concerned at all!
Appears owner cleans herself and double dips on the $200 fee after each guest. Unit has not been thoroughly or professionally cleaned in a very long time. Her request to remove shoes upon entry to keep the carpet clean is the least of her worries. The carpets are filthy to begin with.
ENTIRE UNIT:
•	The listing shows a picture of a street sign that is misleading. We thought it would be one block in from Law St on the ocean side of Mission Blvd. It is located on the other side of Mission Blvd. and up about 6 blocks.
•	Parking is a drag. Growing up here I know that having a designated spot is Golden. We drove around 20 mins and parked blocks away. If you come home after 6 pm., you are a prisoner of the unit or you risk losing your parking spot. Rent bikes or take Uber.
•	All windows inside and out were absolutely filthy. We wrote a sad face on the inside of the main round one coming down the stairs. Imagine how dirty the outside is.
•	All windowsills had so much dirt on them again, you could write on them and screens are filthy. There are not that many windows for this to not be maintained.
•	All mirrors up and downstairs, looked like 409 vs. Windex was used, as there was a definite foggy blurry film, which we could write, notes on. Hard to see yourself in any mirror.
•	The light switches have smeared fingerprints like a kid walked around with a cheese sandwich and touched them all. Obviously have not been cleaned in who knows how long.
•	Same with the front and back of all doors and handles and the stair handrails.
•	Cobwebs in every corner high and low. Spiders dead and alive occupy them.
•	We asked for an early check-in but the reply was that she “cannot commit until her week long guest checks out and the place has been carefully gone through and 4 pm generally provides enough time for that to occur.”
•	She did however text us to tell us we could arrive at 3pm. I wish she would have taken that extra hour to clean.
KITCHEN:
•	Disgusting used stinking sponge left at sink for our stay
•	Hot plate does not regulate a temperature making cooking very challenging
•	No spatula and no knives for cutting
BATH:
•	The soap dish is metal and so old and disgusting that it has rusted out. To top it off there were two used soaps (months old from the shape) from previous guests. Seriously? Nasty.
•	Bath linens were mildewed and only one per person for a 6-night stay. We ended up having to use 1970’s beach towels that are almost see through from being so old. A hand towel was provided as a bath mat for 6 nights.
•	The showerhead is non-existent. It’s a “low flow” and looks like a straight pipe. It does not disperse evenly, it’s like a spray and it barely rinsed hair. Had to turn of nozzle and bend over under the bath faucet to rinse hair.
•	Floor needs a good hands and knees cleaning around all corners.
•	Baby cockroaches at sink at night.
MASTER BEDROOM:
•	Oversized chair in corner with ottoman totally hinders any place for suitcases or movement.
•	Dresser placed in corner that competes with 4-poster bed so you have to hold the footboard poster to squeeze by thus leaving the post all wobbly. It fell off on our stay of course, so we bought wood glue/screws and fixed for the owner and told her upon exiting and did not get a thank you!
•	Gold Satin Sheets! Yes, really. So hideous. They were too large and constantly sliding off and hotter than hell. We woke each night with drenched backs.
•	Owner requests that you remove the “décor” bedspread and pillows as they are not to be used. So once you fold that and put away for the entire stay, an insert comforter with no duvet cover is what is on the bed. That means every other guest has touched this comforter! Gross. It needs a duvet cover that should be washed and changed after each guest.
•	Provided 8 or 10 hangers, could use about 20 more
•	This is a very outdated “Grandma” themed room
PATIO:
•	2 oversized chairs competing with an unnecessary table made it so that you could not sit on the patio AT ALL! We ended up removing the table filled with cobwebs and put in the unit so we could walk out onto balcony. It was filthy, with black soot and dirt clods and leaves.
UNIT IS MISSING:
•	Knives for cutting
•	Spatula
•	Notepad and Pen
TIPS:
•	Have the carpets and the unit professionally cleaned, stop doing it yourself
•	Ditch the satin sheets
•	Remove the oversized chair in the master
•	Move the dresser to where the chair is, it’s too crammed next to the patio and the bed
•	Remove the table from the patio
•	Get a new soap dish in the bathroom
•	Give new soap for each guest
•	Give new kitchen sponge for each guest
•	Make sure towels are not mildewed
•	Need waaaay more hangers
