The place was very nice and clean. However, the instructions on how to treat the place, were insane: you are supposed to clean the stovetop before and after each use. There's a separate rag for every single thing., there are little 'zen' messages in every freaking drawer, on how to treat things, for example, bamboo sheets (in addition to the instructions to the washer and dryer). But, I gave the place one star not for that, but for the $794 request, which came 2 weeks after we left, when the review window was closing. Did the host think that I am gonna be unable to leave a review, and send me his money request, about stained items, and how much cleaning she had to do, when she did the cleaning the day we left? This is what she wrote:
Aloha Oleana, It troubles me to inform you that I discovered the king size duvet cover soaked in oil and very badly stained. The two chaise cushion also were badly stained with oil. All three items need to be replaced. I have included photos and links to purchase replacements. I cannot get the same duvet cover that you ruined, but I can save you money by getting the same one I have for the sofa bed (it is less expensive than the one with oil on it on the bed). I wish this had not occurred. The extra brown sheet has oil stains as well. The stains are not removable. The dryer and washer are scratched, there were a lot of marks and gouges on the walls, the dishwasher had spoiled food on the dirty dishes and glasses in it (it smelled horrible) I had to spend twice as much time cleaning the condo as usual. The BBQ was filthy. It took me an hour and half alone to clean it. I am not charging you for all the extra cleaning and damages. I do need to be covered for the three items I must replace. Thank you for your understanding, Viktoria
I also had to pay her$355 outside of airbnb for taxes, to "save ME money", quote her. I got a message from her that she sent me request 6 hours ago, when she sent it to somebody else. It made me feel bad, like I didn't do something. she apologized afterwords, but nonetheless, the impression was made. On the day of departure, the sent me a text, that she couldn't find towels, and then minutes later, that she found them.
