I am a Palm Springs local who lives across the street from an Acme House rental property I m an actual, real person, not a bot nor a Russian troll and I thought it might be useful to those of you thinking of renting through Acme to know what s happening, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic, from a neutral observer.

When you arrive, you should know that Acme has performed a thorough, intensive deep clean of your property that happens over a period of days not hours. Once the previous tenant has gone, a single employee arrives in protective gear to inspect the property, remove bedding and towels, activate air filtration systems. A cleaning crew arrives the next day, also in protective gear, and wipes down every surface this includes exterior door handles, key pads, even the lids of the outside trash bins. They are specific and consistent.

I know that traveling right now is an emotionally fraught thing. You have been trapped in your house for months, travel seems like a guilty self-indulgence, plus it s expensive and let s admit it dangerous. I cannot allay all your fears, but you should know Acme is taking this seriously and doing what they need to do to make this work.

So. Put down your bags, take off your mask, have a good cry and shake uncontrollably for a hour or two and let Palm Springs recharge you for a bit before we send you back into the fight.
