6 / 10Average·Sep 2022
We found the property to be a good representation of what was described overall and had a pleasant stay however, upon checkout the owner didn’t show up and asked us to leave the keys in front of his personal house which was a short drive ahead. We did accordingly and checked out at 9.40am and about an hour later in to our journey we got a text from the owner accusing us of not cleaning the insides of his oven properly. It’s funny because we didn’t find his oven, plates and cutlery to be squeaky clean either but we didn’t want to make a fuss. The oven was left exactly like we found it and if he expects us to clean the insides of his oven of decades of rust for free, he’s just asking too much. We found plates with leftover food crusted on them and cracked plastic drinking glasses that leak and still didn’t trouble the owner for those minor inconveniences. We washed , dried and put away everything we used so getting such weird text messages from this owner is very much uncalled for. The carpets were not vacuumed in a while and sheets weren’t fresh as well. Maybe if he focused more on keeping his property regularly cleaned he wouldn’t have to pester his guests to do it for him.
