Unfortunately, in spite of its relatively good location and comfortable room, I am hesitant to recommend Ankur's place to future travelers, for the following reasons:
1) Poor Cleanliness:
Seemed like the shower hadn't been cleaned thoroughly--there was still soap scum on the panels and the grouts were yellow, even black at spots; the squeegee left in the shower was filthy. Common areas were messy, with toys and other things strewn all over. The kitchen sinks were always filled with dirty pans and dishes. The shoe area right inside the front entrance was smelly.
2) Excessive Noise:
When an earlier reviewer brought up the issue of noise of a small child, the host replied that the problem had been addressed. But that WASN'T true. Noise was practically constant; from morning till night. The soundproofing in the house was so inadequate that I could practically hear every phone call and footstep in the house.
3) Inaccurate Information:
There was a photo of a nice sitting area outside my room; unfortunately, the space was so messy and stuffed with toys and things that this area was in fact unusable.
4) Difficult Check In:
I had to download an app, log on to the house wifi from outside, and then connect a bluetooth device before I could open the entrance to the house. And when I entered, the host wasn't at home (even though I had informed him of my estimated time of arrival). As I didn't know which room was mine and didn't want to walk through an empty house to look for it, I had to wait in the living room. Fortunately, the host came back in less than 15 minutes.
5) Poor Communication:
Before my trip, I emailed the host for further check-in information; it took the host around 12 hours to respond. During my stay, I had asked the host for a pair of scissors; she said she was busy at the time and would put it outside my door later on; she never did.
