The room looked suspiciously like it had not been cleaned and remade since the last guest slept in it. Specifically, the bed looked poorly made (sheets sloppily thrown together like they’d recently been slept in), sheets wrinkled, and towels hung over closet doors instead of folded. And though I tried within 30 minutes of my 6pm arrival to contact the host via AirBNB app messaging, the host’s email address, the host’s phone number, the phone number’s “emergency” option, and text message, they did not respond until I was going to bed a couple hours later. When they did respond, they assured me the sheets and towels had been washed, that the bed was just poorly made. It was disconcerting all the while and even afterwards.
