I booked Lisa's place for two nights and I did it very last minute because another Air BnB fell through. Lisa was responsive and got back to me, which I am grateful for. The place when I visited it however, was not suitable. It wasn't clean yet from a long term guest - and to her credit she sprinted a quick 20 min. cleaning to make it ready. The futon mattress though was a thin as they come and not having the best back - I realized I could not stay there. I made the decision to cancel my reservation. I offered to pay a full nights stay (out of 2) for her troubles. She looked me in the eye and said, "I'll think about it". Lisa decided to refund me a total $20 and kept $100. So, she made a $100 off me for a 20 minute cleaning job. I'll repeat once again - I offered to pay one nights stay.
What I will say about the place:
-Bare bones. It will work for some. Thin futon mattress. It's certainly not an Oasis.
-You will need ear plugs to sleep. This is what Lisa told me, not my statement.
-Lisa was friendly at first. Obviously my decision not to stay at her place once I saw it, did not sit well.
