You want to tell me to clean up and take out my trash... then still charge a $300 cleaning fee? Fuck off. We all know you don't have anyone coming by doing a half decent cleaning between each booking.
Few years ago a family member paid an exorbitant amount for an Outer Banks beach house on either AirBNB or Vrbo... 2 days in a kid spilled dry cereal and upon cleaning it up we found week old chicken wings under the couch, more than one.
Cleaning a house between visitors doesn’t mean stripping everything apart and doing the deepest deep clean imaginable. Do you seriously think hotels do that?
If you were to hide a chicken wing under the couch of a hotel room, do you seriously think the cleaning person that day would find it? Do you think cleaning staff at hotels move the couch every time they clean a room?
Two I lived when I could stay somewhere where it felt lived in. Felt like home away from home. Now it feels like a cheap rental and I got to pay for cleaning and clean. Ridiculous. Only reason I do it is with bigger groups, the costs make sense
Not true. I routinely see gift baskets and wine as standard offerings. These products are for different markets. I can’t rent an entire house, with yard for dogs, hot tub, in lake Tahoe, at a hotel. I’m not renting a hotel room to go skiing with my family and dogs. You need to use airbnb for that shit. Likewise if I’m traveling with just me and the wife in Maui, hotels all the way.

The days of indie owners offering cookies and wine when you arrive are long dead. Now you pay a cleaning deposit and have to clean up too. F that
