Ashish’s place wasn’t as we were expecting it to be.
The listing states that it was clean but unfortunately when we there we noticed that the floor had dirt and hair on it like it had not been vacuumed. The rugs were literally filthy needing to be replaced or steam cleaned. There were oodles of dust bunnies under the bed which made me cringe. It was disappointing to find the the apartment not clean even though a cleaning fee is charged.
The bed wasn’t very comfortable and the linen smelled a bit. Also it was dark linen so we couldn’t tell if there was dirt on it. Hospitality industry standards state that bed linens should be white. The host also provided extra bedsheets but they were brand new in a box which is weird. You don’t use sheets without washing them first. We had to wash the linen before using it and it wasn’t good quality.
The kitchen didn’t have basics like salt, pepper and oil etc which we asked for later.
We found the parking wasn't as described, we found it very hard to park a sedan and SUV in the designated spot and one of us had to park on the street. We could only fit one car in the spot allocated. In my opinion the host needs to change the description to say two parking spots for small sized cars, also the accessibility to the parking spot was very poor as the road wasn't paved making it hard to drive and locate it when we first arrived.
Lastly the location for the apartment was great and close to the main city center. We had a quick drive to the city.
It was disappointing that we had to cut our trip short because of the issues we faced with the apartment.
Our advice to the host is to keep the place clean so that guests can have a pleasant experience.
