I’m giving Roger’s home three out of five stars for the following reasons:
Roger is a super nice guy and he is a great communicator. He was prompt to respond to any questions and provide assistance. The location of his home is great for the price. The home is located on a major street just about a 15 minute walk to most all major attractions. I even walked home from the Centre Bell Center after a concert at night and felt safe. The room was exactly as advertised with all the amenities advertised.
That said, the home, overall, is not clean. It is as if it hasn’t been cleaned in ages. The kitchen is filthy and I was afraid to touch anything. Trash is everywhere—under the sink, in the cabinet drawers, in the cabinets. Cat litter all over the floor. The refrigerator is gross. Same with the bathroom. The shower curtain has mildew, the dust is abundant, thick, and old, and there are dozens of old 1/2 used hygiene products others have left behind taking up what little space there is. There’s no hand towel to dry your hands after you wash them. The room itself was mostly clean, but could use dusting (baseboards and light fixture had cobwebs.) Roger needs to invest in a cleaning company to come in and deep clean. I didn’t feel clean after showering because the bathroom was so neglected and dirty. Also, the exterior needs a lot of landscaping work (mowing, weeding, etc.).
Finally, I found an unsheltered man sleeping in the front entrance of the house when I was leaving one morning so the front entrance could use a lock on the door.
