While the place itself was in a great location and very new, it was very obvious that the host was not prepared for my arrival.
I arrived late in the evening on my scheduled day and went straight to bed. I didn't even pull the comforter back. I woke up in the middle of the night to get in the bed and discovered that there were no sheets on the bed except for the fitted sheet. I looked through the entire place and only found blankets. I messaged the host and he delivered the sheets the following morning.
The kitchen, while well laid-out, had not been cleaned. The oven, microwave, and refrigerator were quite filthy. The french press coffee maker still had grounds in it. I messaged the host and he claimed to have fired his cleaning person and offered to refund my cleaning fee (which never happened.) He also offered to refund the entire stay if I wanted to find another place...which doesn't really work since I would have to wait for his refund in order to book another place (not to mention the time and hassle of relocating). There were also no hand towels...just three bath towels and a number of worn wash rags.
I messaged the host, and later that day he delivered hand towels and a newly purchased french press (which still needed to be washed).
When I tried to wash a load of dishes in the dishwasher, I couldn't locate dishwasher detergent. I messaged the host and he delivered some.
There were a few other issues that I just started to ignore and not bother the host about. Even though he had been responsive to my requests, I was just getting sick of asking. There were plenty of pots and pans for cooking, but there was only one lid–which didn't fit anything. There were numerous cooking knives, but no table knives except for three butter knives. These are minor examples of a persistent issue that just stopped being worth dealing with. The list goes on.
In short...I really felt more like a beta tester for the location than an actual paying guest.
