this was an unpleasant experience, unfortunately.
i was supposed to stay for two weeks, but i ended up only staying for one because i was so uncomfortable.
-first of all, the housekeeper hardly cleaned the place at all. floors, kitchen, and bathroom were visibly dirty the entire time i was there.
host has committed to the “enhanced clean” process, but the apartment wasn’t cleaned to even a basic standard.
-the housekeeper didn’t even show up some days.
-there are no cleaning products or even trash bags left behind for personal upkeep. trash was constantly overflowing.
-i shared the apartment with two other tenants, one of whom continuously forgot to flush the toilet and clean their droppings off the seat. left bloody pads upright in the trash (again, constantly overflowing—major biohazard.)
the same tenant scolded me for not wearing a mask straight out the shower, but did not wear a mask in the apartment the rest of the time themself.
the “mask in common areas” rule is pretty pointless in my opinion—i mean, we are sharing a bathroom.
there is also a no smoking rule (which i understand for indoors, but you aren’t even allowed to smoke outside. otherwise you’ll get fined $200. again...pretty pointless.)
boris communicated well enough, but most messages were unnecessarily long and i could tell that they were copy/pasted.
