Owner's Response: My first thoughts to simply refer potential guests to all the other reviews we have received. My second thought is, "Oh, please." This guest is correct. Our Rental Agreement does stipulate that no more than six people may stay overnight at any one time. What is customary is for the guest to inform the owners of expected overnight guests ahead of time. When your nephew arrived, the reason I approached him was because he had parked entirely across the driveway, blocking your car in. Once he identified himself and your daughter brought him the street parking pass, I had no other thought beyond how handsome he is. No other thought until I then saw him entering the apartment with a suitcase and a bag full of liquor. You then told me he was from a community which is less than seven miles from here and that his going home that night after visiting would "not be a problem." To suggest that the owner may have any sort of bias based on ethnicity is ludicrous. We have rented our apartment for 18 years to people from all over the world, of all different races, genders, and ethnicities. Using a descriptor is not a sign of prejudice; it is simply a part of a story. You listed on your site inquiry that you and three others would be sleeping in the apartment. That in itself constitutes a contract. The different number of people sleeping in our apartment puts us in a dangerous situation with our liability insurance, which covers only those who we know are to be staying there. If someone outside our knowledge slips in the tub, we would not be covered. We are sorry that you were disappointed. In 18 years of renting, we have had only two guests who have not met our expectations as visitors. For the following reasons, we now have a list of three; - the cleaner, who typically prepares the apartment for the next guest in under two hours, spent 5.5 hours getting it back in order, - I am still trying to get bloodstains out of the sheets and coverlet, - in spite of leaving your sandals at the door as requested, there was an inordinate amount of sand in the apartment, to the degree that the cleaner had to vacuum out the dryer before using it, - members of your party were outside at night being loud enough that our neighbors remarked on it to us. Since we live in a residential neighborhood, we must be especially cognizant of any noise our guests impose on our neighbors. Going forward, our suggestion is that you have a deeper conversation with owners about your plans while renting.
