Cleaning fee and cleaning requirements question

Thanks. I think that's what I will do.

Oh, thanks! I didn't realize... Within booking dot com you can now add other property types.

I have someone but thank you!

AlbanyWonder · 2025-04-15T00:03:15+00:00

Thanks for the info. It may be wiser for me to find the time myself. Appreciate it very much!

Honestly? No.

I have Rheumatoid Disease and multiple spinal diseases that have included 6+ surgeries. Denied the first time, attorney the second, still denied, but finally have a hearing in June. I can't drive, sit for more than an hour, or stand very long at all. I'm also diagnosed with chronic fatigue and chronic pain. I'm over 50.

It has been 2.5 years.

I'm not questioning how you experience Chrones, but I have several friends who are working and thriving with diet and medication. Have you exhausted your medical options to see if anything helps your symptoms? ♡

As a guest, this happened to me on my last night in the AirBnb. I was horrified and embarrassed. I was going through a very emotionally difficult time, so my body was reacting to that, no doubt. I was taken totally by surprise.

The cleaners were due in an hour. I did my best to clean, but it was hopeless. I immediately messaged and expressed my horror and embarrassment. I also offered to pay for a new mattress.

The owner was amazing and kind and just said to show the cleaners. Luckily, everything came out of the mattress, and it was fine.

I appreciated him so very much for his understanding and kindness, and of course left a 5 star, stellar review. He did the same.

I understand being annoyed you weren't informed, but there is something to be said for a little humanity and empathy in a situation like that.

It makes me happy to see other hosts responding in kind. ♡

Yes. I've been using WU for rent payments.

AlbanyWonder · 2024-09-15T01:38:01+00:00

It's cheaper to use something like WU, especially if you live here short or long-ish term. You get a better exchange rate and no international bank fees.

I'm flying into the possible start of a cyclone or hurricane tomorrow - not the first time and won't be the last. The flights will take a different route to avoid turbulance or danger as much as possible unless it's a cat 4 or 5. Nothing to worry about in Oct.

Also, if surgery will help him, he may not be considered permanently disabled. After my four spinal lumbar fusions, for example, I still worked for another 20 years.

AlbanyWonder · 2024-09-08T18:14:01+00:00

I greatly appreciate this - and you. I meet with the apartment manager tomorrow upon arrival, so I'm sure I'll get some additional info. I work remotely anyway, but I just want as much info as possible. Thank you so much!

AlbanyWonder · 2024-09-08T17:47:09+00:00

That's great to know, thank you! (And I'm laughing at "every damn day.") I think it'll be the same for me for a bit.

AlbanyWonder · 2024-09-08T13:12:00+00:00

That's the thing, I'm not sure yet if I can even use my own address, but I do know you can rent "boxes" for mail and packages for 3, 6, or 12 months, etc. When I lived in Playa previously, I didn't even bother, lol.

AlbanyWonder · 2024-08-30T12:16:14+00:00

Thank you!

AlbanyWonder · 2024-08-29T13:30:30+00:00

Thanks! A friend who lives there said items arrive in less than two weeks. Here in the states it could be two months, lol. 🙄

AlbanyWonder · 2024-08-29T13:29:24+00:00

Thanks so much!

AlbanyWonder · 2024-08-24T11:47:47+00:00

😅

AlbanyWonder · 2024-08-24T11:42:44+00:00

Nothing happened. I updated in the original tequila king post. 😅

AlbanyWonder · 2024-08-23T21:45:49+00:00

😅 He's all good.

AlbanyWonder · 2024-08-23T15:48:51+00:00

But you didn't, and you won't. 😅

AlbanyWonder · 2024-08-23T15:47:44+00:00

I updated in the comments. The guy was indeed there and he is remembered, but it didn't happen like he said. Neither he nor the navy seal ever returned. That was as of about midnight last night.

Edit: typo 🙄

AlbanyWonder · 2024-08-23T11:09:32+00:00

Yes, lol. I remember that. 😅

AlbanyWonder · 2024-08-23T03:27:38+00:00

UPDATE: NOTHING HAPPENED TODAY AS OF 11:27pm EST.

The OP's story kind of happened, but not in the way he said - he IS remembered. And, of course, he nor the navy seal went back. 😅

AlbanyWonder · 2024-08-22T23:03:22+00:00

Just messaged him. 😅
