I can't believe that I have just read on how others think they need to be treated and how they leave crap all over..wth.
Here is what I expect.
If I would like to check in early I'll call a minimum of a week out to ask if it is OK and in now way expect it.
I take care of the property like it is mine.
When I am leaving, I clean up, dishes done, bed sheets in a pile, sweep floor if needed. I like to leave it close to how I found it.
If I leave early, I don't ever think about asking for my money back.
If the person also owns a bar or the like, I will always stop in to spend some money there as well.
I just wish people would treat others and their property with much more respect. It is disheartening to here the lack there of.
Good luck Lenny.
