Unclean. Unsafe. Uncomfortable.
Honestly, I think my conversation with Kevin on WhatsApp covers what you should be prepared for:
Me, Day 2:
“Good morning, Kevin. Just wanted to touch on a few points after my first 24 hours here and second night at your place:
1. When does the daily water supply get replenished?
2. How often are the common areas cleaned? Right now with corona it seems more necessary than ever to have disinfectants in hospitality establishments, including Air B n B accommodations due to the frequent traffic of guests and their visitors, especially in high risk states such as NY.
3. The floors seemed a bit dirty in my room when I arrived and I am finding hair very different from mine on several spots. Are the rooms properly swept and mopped after every guest departs?
4. Were the linens cleaned and are the pillows washed after each guest? Not only am I concerned about this bc of corona, but had to place a shirt around a pillow because it smelled like dry saliva.
5. Not yet a complaint, but more of a reference in case it repeats itself: The guest next door had alarms going off from 11 to midnight on their phone last night, which was disruptive for my sleep as I had to wake up at 4am for a business call.
5. It seems there is another guest that has aiming issuess, as there is urine on the floor surrounding the toilet in the shared bathroom, and they forgot to flush the toilet after pooping.
6. How often are the bathrooms cleaned? There are several types of hair at the bottom.
Hope you find this feedback helpful and constructive and that you have a pleasant day.
Kindest regards,
RR”

“Yes linen ll clean remember tht room i moved you over nd it wasn't clean fully so we come clean floor later i do the, my limit is really 2dys stay you the 1st over 3days so bear with me i give you a bigger room that was not fully ready and it cost more ,I clean my place for 30bucks a day do you think I can afford a cleaning person, heck no so I'm coming after work tonight to clean, and bathroom”
My response:
“Hey, no worries Kevin. I think it’s just best if I just find a new place tomorrow and cancel the rest of my reservation, please. Please note that in my first contact I mentioned to you that I am coming here for work, and the work station listed on your listing is part of the reason I decided to come here. There is no mention of any room costing more than the other, so I was hoping it could be ready by the time I arrived, but instead the bathroom and the room have been filthy and not very hospitable.”
