Lisa’s place was immaculate and clean. One of my family members did spill beer on the carpet and couch, and we didn’t notice it when we left. He thought he’d cleaned it. Lisa charged us $375 for the steam cleaning, and I paid for it without question. We did our best to take care of her space, minus that issue. I had asked her to remove any breakable items in the house because we had two young kids coming… but there ended up being a lot of decor, vases, and plants we still had to put away and then put back. We also found the large painting in her living room very disconcerting. It’s a painting of two people of color doing hard labor, which feels strange inside the context of this wealthy home in a wealthy neighborhood.
