Hey travelers! Do you like being greeted in pitch black darkness after a punishingly long flight and fumbling with a rusty lockbox just to get into the place you're staying at? How about finding a veritable Jackson Pollock painting of pasta sauce on the wall of the "recently updated kitchen" or trying to twist the stove knob only to find your fingers covered in grease? How about opening the kitchen cabinet to find moldy bread waiting for you? Stepping into the disturbingly pink bathroom to find mold on the ceiling of the shower and toilet paper so cheap it's practically translucent? All for the low cleaning price of $159, by the way!
If you like these amenities, you'll love the bugs crawling in the bathtub (see here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/xRxUo3bNdKKa2Moy5) and the hair of prior guests lingering in the corners of the bathroom. Above all, you'll love spending the ensuing 5 days trying to explain to the host that the "art project" on the wall and the biodiversity in the bathtub aren't how any self-respecting guest wants to spend their putative escape from reality.
Amal can blame her cleaning lady all she wants; the buck used to stop with hosts on this platform. If you want a getaway from gaslighting landlords or scrubbing Rao's Carbonara off your wall, look elsewhere.
