6/10 Okay

* S.

Just OK
The property itself was ok. It was listed as "minimalistic" which was true; 4 plates/glasses, mini-fridge which couldnt hold a bag of ice or small pizza box. Only 1 small tv. Very irritating that $195 cleaning fee, when requested to remove shoes indoors and the wood floor wasnt even clean as well as I am expected to do the laundry ..cmon?!? Was difficult communicating with host.
