This review is just for my experiences with my stay, not any other experiences that I had.
To start it off, Jordan’s place was well decorated, had plenty of books, and the beds were comfortable. He was very communicative and check in was a breeze.
Shortly after arriving, a small spider crawled on me while I was in the bathroom. I saw a couple of ants, but didn’t pay them any mind. What really disturbed me was the tick that I found in the bedroom adjacent from the bathroom. I did not sleep at ease after finding it as I was worried another one would make its way to the bed.
Something else that I did not expect was a message from the host the day before checkout. I was asked to take out the trash, load/start the dishwasher, and to remove all the linens from both beds and place them in the bathtub, along with all the bath towels. I did not expect to have to do this as it was not written in the listing. In my opinion, if the host expects the guest to do all of that, the cleaning fee should not be $200 for a three night stay. This was higher than my week stay in a comparable apartment in NYC. I wouldn’t have had a problem doing it if I had known this was an expectation from the start and if the fee wasn’t so high.
Also, I heard three different series of gunshots while I was staying in his home. did not feel safe taking out the trash and only left his home to grab an Uber or Lyft. My initial plan was to use public transportation, but did not feel safe in that neighborhood.
