Travelling now, need some urgent help with spanish
I'm travelling with a friend and staying at an apartment we found on airbnb. There's something unusual about the apartment when we return today, and we suspect someone had been in while we were away. We have the whole apartment so there should not be any one else. Our host have very basic understanding of english and we had very minimum understanding of spanish.
We want to text our host and ask if he has been to the apartment. Could someone please help translate the following.
- Did you come to the apartment yesterday night while we were out?
- We had closed all the windows but noticed 2 windows were open, a cabinet door was open, one of the lights were on (we had turn off all lights before leaving).
Any other keywords you can throw in will be great, even if its not in complete sentences.

¿Entró usted el apartmento anoche cuando estábamos fuera?
Cerramos todas las ventanas pero cuando regresamos, nos dio cuenta que dos estaban abiertas. Además, una puerta de gabinete estaba abierta y una luz encendida aunque apagamos todas antes de salir.
Hi I have done a great amount of travelling around the world , and still do so now ,
one of the dynamics that I have realised is that one must be very relaxed
about things , and that people do not operate the same way as they do in ones
home town . I always leave my room ( apartment ) tidied up and never leave anything
behind that I want to lose , cleaners can, and do come in and out , and maybe the
owner is as unsure of you as you are of him , so he wants to check to see if you
are either looking after his apartment or have not taken anything . Learn to relax
and trust , although be on guard by all means , but do not be uptight about it,
You will I am sure have a wonderful time in strange and wonderful lands as I did.
Best of luck , keep your phrase book handy and SD at your fingertips.
