Christine was quick to respond to check-in instructions. However, when we entered the home, we were met with a musky smell, something like old sweat. We tracked this smell to both of the bed's mattresses, which had a very heavy sweat smell. We helped to change the sheets (and saw badly stained mattresses) as Christine kindly had a spare set in the bed frame's drawer, but that did not remove the smell. Overall it was quite uncomfortable to be in the room, much less sleeping on it.
Additionally, as tourists, we parked at the correct side of the road but we shifted our car to face the other side - we didn't think we would hurt anyone as the car is stationary. However, we got fined $60 in the morning - we did not know that it's illegal to park with your car facing the wrong side of the road. It would have been nice for the host to post this advisory somewhere for visitors that are driving. When we raised this fine with Christine, she simply told us to take it up with the City.
Overall, I would not recommend staying in this home. The smell alone would tick many off. I sincerely home Christine looks into replacing her mattresses.
