Comfy stay in a private unit-En suite room, lounge

The host was really kind and friendly and asked for a good review, but I have to be honest there was an elephant in the room that should never have been the case. The living area smelled so strongly of curry even fanning out for hours didn't subside, and we basically didn't want to sit and smell that. We were asked to take off our shoes which is normal, but the floor in the same area was sticky. The room looked ok and things like stains on the carpet are fine, but the toilet seat was gross. The host should notice if there's a strong smell and get rid of it prior to arrival, and if asking people to take off shoes make sure the floor is more clean than outside. I can't recommend even a nice host in a nice neighborhood, even at a good price, for these preventable reasons.
