I was pretty disappointed, and kinda grossed out, at the state of the kitchen and bathroom. I understand when I have my own hair in the shower and floors, but there was a bunch of hair on the floors and in the shower when I got there. Made the impression that it wasn't cleaned after the previous guest. Also, there were used items in the shower (i.e. bar of soap and a silicone massager?). Again, this made me think it wasn't cleaned. The shower has mold/ mildew build up in many crevices. The sinks were dirty and the kitchen sink had a VERY used sponge in there. I would never be comfortable using a sponge like that in an unfamiliar place. Not to mention there was NO dish soap to be found. There was hand sanitizer and hand soap, but no dish soap! I had no idea how I was to wash what I needed to use, and ended up trying super hard not to use anything at all. I had to wash my cup at my training center! There was a nasty, rusted dusting spray that was just left on the counter.
There weren't any instructions, tips, guidelines to be found. It would've been useful to have something to direct me to where the light switch to the kitchen/ entryway was. I had to come into complete darkness the first two nights, until I finally located it. I also had no idea on whether or not the patio was ok to use. It's shared with the main house.
I just can't believe nobody mentioned the cleanliness in the previous reviews. I am definitely not someone who requires things sparkling, but this was just plain gross. I dreaded taking a shower, or walking around barefoot, or just making myself something to eat. And I couldn't even clean up after myself without the dish soap! Ugh, I can't stress enough how much I dreaded prepping food. I still cringe at the thought of me using the knife to cut my food.
