I needed a simple place to sleep and start the day, and your place was that. I guess the most misleading thing about it was the other reviews. I was very grateful to see so many reviews about cleanliness, as this is very important to me anywhere I go. It might usually be as clean as people described, but when I came it was neat but very unclean and covered in hair on dishes, in the refrigerator/freezer, all around the kitchen sink, etc., as we discussed and some of which I was able to show you as I was still cleaning into my third day of staying in the apartment. I figured the guests staying before me had left the apartment a wreck, especially when I saw someone’s half-dried mucus/spit in the kitchen sink, but later my interactions with you and the apartment owners left me thinking it was probably a 50/50 split on the lack of cleanliness. There are certain things that can’t be helped like sulfur/rotten egg smells in the building, lots of clutter surrounding the entry way to the place, etc.. Still, I’d recommend a much more thorough cleaning job and immediately replacing the blanket hanging as a shower curtain and the shower curtain hooks that are completely rusted over in the bathroom. Without the plastic cover, the water from the shower is getting trapped in that fabric and is probably breeding bacteria that are causing that sewage odor in the bathroom that seeps into the kitchen when the door is open and builds up if the door is closed.
Thanks again for being so helpful and concerned about me when the chair at the computer desk broke with me in it. I think your plan for replacing it and the table are spot on, just to get rid of all the shaky furniture in the place that could be a liability later. Let me know if you need any of my pictures. I took plenty, including of how I left the place.
Overall you are very helpful, I just wish communication at checkout could’ve been like all the other communication. I still haven’t heard back from you, but that could be an issue with the WIFI that I know you were trying to fix. I hope that worked out.
Lastly, I think the idea of the lockbox is great, but since it does get jammed and sometimes isn’t working properly it would be great to have a Plan B that’s easy to follow and includes detailed descriptions - just in case.
It was great to meet you Desmar! I wish you all the best in the future.
