We had an experience with a patio-villa rental in The Villages I'd rather not repeat: faded, mismatched bed linens/towels and old kitchen utensils, appliances/gadgets from a bygone era. Obviously, these came from the owners' household and since they were of no use to them should have been thrown out or donated long before.
Another thing owners should look at carefully are safety issues. An AirBnB rental out of town was in an old apartment complex. It was managed professionally by an "expert host" and overall was okay but the bathtub/shower combo had been repainted and was extremely slippery. We had to buy a bath mat. There was also a large glass dining table that wobbled on its iron legs. One small accidental shove and it would have crashed. I told the host about these issues in a private message.
On the other hand, we found an AirBnB rental in the Village of LaZamora for overflow company. The house had been recently updated and was the most tastefully decorated and comfortably furnished place I've seen. I hope all the guests since then have treated it respectfully.
