I always struggle with writing critical reviews, especially when this platform and the ability to have guests supports this person’s livelihood. In this case, I’m writing because the other reviews just didn’t mention some of these things and that was challenging for me. Shiva was a very lovely guy. Very sweet. I enjoyed all of our encounters. But here are some of the things that I struggled with during my stay.
There was hair literally everywhere. Long hair, beard hair, pubes. Hair in the tub and on the floor of the bathroom. There was hair in the bed and on all the rugs. Hairs clinging to my socks and to my bare feet. With this lack of cleanliness it was a bit annoying that no shoes were allowed in the house.
Shiva worked from home daily and had loud, headphoneless Zoom calls all day long just outside my door. I was in and out a lot, but often when I wanted to sleep late, this disturbed me.
The woman upstairs stomped unrelentingly. The apartment was not quiet.
During my time there, Shiva would cough so aggressively I thought for sure he would produce a lung. During a pandemic this caused a constant stress and fear.
He would piss in the toilet and not flush it, which was gross. What was even more gross was that after having a lady friend over he left a used condom at the top of the trash can. After two days of seeing this, I expected him to empty the trash bin… instead he placed hair shavings on top of it from his beard.
Shiva was great…but I’d consider these things when booking.
