I have a work colleague who just started getting a room ready to host in her home. She was having some trouble getting it ready for listing and asked me to come over and take a look/help her with staging and pics. When I got to the location I noticed it was very dirty. Dust and cobwebs in corners, dirt and dust bunnies under furniture, baseboards with schmutz, stained carpet, extra clutter in the guest room, generally not what I would consider "clean" for the purposes of hosting. I helped her deep clean, stage and take pics but going forward I wonder if I should say anything about the standard of cleaning? She is older and I don't know if she even "sees" this or has the funds to hire someone to help her.
She is a wonderful lady and is doing this to supplement her income. She has had some health issues so it may just be that cleaning thoroughly is beyond her ability at this point. Would you say anything? How would you say it? I would love to help co-host but we are stretched thin and really can't take it on due to her distance from our Airbnb listing. Maybe I should keep mum? I would hate for her guests to rate this poorly but I also don't want to step on toes or hurt feelings.
