First, I'd like to say that the host, Joe, is very friendly and considerate.
That being said, the place offered was less than ideal for our group, and provided us with a very frustrating stay. I would not recommend, unless your group is looking to have a good time and mingle with others - we were there for work, and it left us not having a restful stay at all.
- We understand it's a shared place, but having to share beds is not acceptable.
- We were also required to change rooms mid-way through our stay to accommodate another large group, which is totally unacceptable!!
- We were 5 guests, and only one key was provided for access. That left some of our guests strangling to get inside.
- The Host requires the groups to create a group for communication on another platform. On one side, that's a good idea to ensure proper communication, but on the other side, the host would not give us access to the space until the group was created, and until everyone accepted the House Rules, which left some of us waiting for check in.
- The rooms are small and many beds are squeezed in to maximize number of guests, which makes it very hard to move around.
- There is only one shower, and we were up to 12 sharing the space!
- Safety and codes are suspect. One room has a fire escape ladder that goes down to the backyard, but it’s secured with a four digit code on the inside handle so we can’t use it to get outside. The only way out is through the one main set of stairs. That can be a real issue in case of fire.
