We noticed a few things right away that weren’t clean, the shower had a wastebasket with water in it and the drain grate was rusted out or missing. The dishwasher was a health hazard, filled with mold. To the point you couldn’t tell what color the plastic was inside. I wish I could post pics! The countertops had dried food on them, like have to scrape off with a sharp knife as opposed to just washing with a sponge. As we kept looking, it just got worse. There was ants In the hallway, living room and bathroom, and it’s the middle of winter. There was a sock next to the bed from the last people who stayed there. Nothing had been vacuumed, food remnants under the coffee table and dried food splattered in the top of it. When I moved the circle rug in the kitchen you could see the outline and feel the difference of the filth outside the circle. The bathroom had toothpaste splatter in the sink and mirror, hair in the corners and shower. If there wasn’t an ice storm brewing we would have just went back home. I sent several pictures to the owner and he said they could send someone the next morning. Three maintenance guys showed up and were there for a couple hours. They cleaned as well as they could, but they are not the cleaning people. This place obviously was NOT cleaned before we arrived which is what I pay for. But no offer was made to reimburse the cleaning fee. That to me seems like it would be a given, especially the condition it was in. I will never ever stay at one of his properties again. We were also originally looking for a place for a couple nights the following week and he offered to have us come back and wouldn’t charge us another cleaning fee. No way, not a chance! We found different(much cleaner) accommodations.
