I know it was same day booking but my place was not clean, no hand soap in the bathroom, no hand town. and could tell the bathroom had not been clean. There was some sticky residue prob from the previous guest, maybe sticky toothpaste? I reached out during my stay to let the hosts know and they did offer to send someone out but it was already the evening and I thought to myself it’s too late at this point. The shower had rings where bottles of shampoo once were and it had a layer of grime. I didn’t even shower- 1. Because I felt it was so filthy and 2. I’m tall enough where the window, that does not have a blind, would have completely exposed my nude body to the neighbors in the ally. There was hair and dust bunnies on the floor throughout the place as well as when you enter coming up the stairs. It’s not the best first impression.
I do not think I should have to pay a cleaning fee due to the fact my stay was not clean. I even wondered, if the bathroom wasn’t clean, were my sheets? I am a air b&b host and I am even now more than ever & since COVID I’m on my hand and knees cleaning, sweeping and mopping and making sure my guests feel at home and they know it’s clean. This was not my case. I felt like I was in a dirty dorm room. Just being honest. I know life gets busy and it may have been overlooked when my request came in and nobody could make it over there to clean but then I shouldn’t have been confirmed. That’s all.
Other than that I will say, the hosts were highly responsive and nice.
They work as a team to make sure they’re in communication with their guests. The home is in a good location to get to anything I think pretty quick. There are cute restaurants and shops in walking distance and I wish I would have been able to experience them but I was there for only one night. They have a small parking lot in the back.
I personally wouldn’t stay here again and I know mistakes happen but for me what I saw in pictures and what was reality just didn’t match up. The pictures look super cute and bright and I had experience was a dingy version. Maybe just need to update the photos?
I really don’t like leaving bad reviews but I feel really awful that I had to pay $65 cleaning fee for a dirty place.
