The host was friendly, helpful and accommodating in allowing me to check in a few hours before check in time. On entering the house, I found parts of the kitchen unclean, with food and other debris in the kitchen. The pantry and utensils' state of cleanliness was questionable. The fridge door setup was unusual making it hard to close. There was an unusual distinct odor in the house and a slight smoking odor in the bathroom.
The host agreed to have the place cleaned and the odor removed, and provide one night stay's compensation elsewhere, and a small amount(I think $100) in cash extra.
At this point I did not feel comfortable staying in the house, and cancelled my reservation with getting a refund of all but 3 days(the host agreed to put the listing back on the market for those 3 days, and agreed to pay the daily cost back to me if those days got rented, but they were not).
The apt. is located in a hotel where some of the units are privately owned.
