One star review because:
- we paid a $150 cleaning fee and we were told a few minutes before check in that we were supposed to wash all dishes and remove all trash from the unit. You can’t have it all. Either disclose it ahead of time or don’t expect guests to do the work for you when they pay this much in cleaning fees.
- when we challenged the above, we were told we would be charged extra. How is this even appropriate.
- the apartment was in a shady building (think: floor-to-ceiling metal bars as entrance gate, posted signs about not smoking marijuana, disgusting, worn out carpets in the hallways) on a super noisy avenue
- the apartment itself wasn’t up to clean standards (though in all fairness the kitchen and bathroom were clean and recently renovated). We saw stains on the walls, pillows weren’t clean, we almost had to wash the sheets again.
I would really not recommend for anyone to ever stay there.
Also: I have kept screenshots of the full communication with the host.
