Kawika is most certainly a super host! He is warm, incredibly accommodating & welcoming.
We arrived in the evening and he greeted us from his porch. Very kind hello. When you walk in, there are goodies that immediately indicate that he’s glad that you’re there: wine, snacks, bottled waters.. a “lit” fireplace. Very sweet.
The fridge had a couple of notes that detailed checkout details along with personal cellphone numbers for any arising needs.
The bedding had a hotel tuck which was a nice touch & space heaters abounded for the nighttime chill of San Francisco!
We were comfortable. We almost ran out of toilet paper, but upon requesting extra from Kawika, he provided promptly & it was hanging from the entry door upon our arrival that evening as we had gone out for the day. Again, very accommodating!
This morning (at 3am) it was time for check out so, I immediately stripped the bedding (which is one of the main requests) when I discovered the ONE difficult situation from the entire stay.
There was what looked like smeared poop or blood on the edge of the bed’s fitted sheet where they were still tucked from the hotel tuck aforementioned. It ruined so much of my positive experience seeing that. I was grossed out & pretty offended. Needless to say it was the worst part of my stay. I got over it quickly by not talking about it as I was only finding it minutes before departing from the Airbnb while sleeping with it tightly tucked next to my feet for a whole week! Ugh
I do not believe that based on Kawika’s presentation that this is an indication of his cleanliness, however I do find it quite disturbing that something so dark brown & sizable could go unnoticed. The bedding was obviously not cleaned. I don’t know why, but I’m glad that it’s behind me.
Check your sheets and you should be fine. Lol
