I was a terrible house guest offmychest

Ok this is something that happened just a couple days back but I needed it off my chest.

So back in the city where I was working, I needed a place to stay for two months before my vacation started. A friend's friend graciously agreed to take me in, she moving out to another friend's place (I'm a guy). Her only requirement was that I keep the house properly cleaned.

Now I was working a job which took all my energy and all my time (8 in the morning to 10 in the night, sometimes even weekends). I'm also a person who had their living environments cleaned for them (mom, or a cleaning lady). Result? A dirty, stinky bathroom and a dusty house.

Now I cleaned the bathroom floor multiple times and brushed the toilet but my inexperience or the particularly nasty nature of my shits has left it 'a public toilet that hasn't been cleaned for 5 years' (her exact words).

I've come back to my hometown, but I still have a LOT of stuff in that house (think tables, a refrigerator and cartons) that she had agreed to keep till I return end of next month and take it away. She got a new roommate which means she has to keep all of this in her small room, not to mention clean up a dusty house and a shitty toilet and dirty kitchen.

I've apologised, of course. Also offered to pay to have someone come and clean. She seems to be ignoring my messages.

And before you ask yes, I could've had someone come in and clean it before. I didn't know anyone in that building plus general laziness.

And BTW when I mean 'guest' I did pay the full rent, of course. It wasn't a free stay.

Wanted this off my chest.

TL;DR : I'm a careless idiot who left a dirty bathroom and house for a person who agreed to let me stay there.
