Bill “WAS NOT” very friendly or welcoming and I stayed there a week. I would have left after day 1 but couldn’t as I was finishing off my second week of quarantine there and could not leave. He never asked me once if I needed anything during my entire stay eventhough he knew I couldn’t leave his property. I paid $50 a night and was as quiet as a mouse, very respectful and almost invisible so I wasn’t a bad house guest either.
His accommodations are a little dated but that didn’t bother me as much as lack of cleanliness. There were hairs on bathroom floor, cobwebs all over basement walls and windows , a dirty towel left hanging on the back of my bedroom door, yellows stains on throw rug, some white crusty residue on the futon covers, dirty bathroom sink, totally filthy, stained and smelly microwave, unclean fridge, dirty light switches, burnt out and missing light bulbs, yellow and mold spot stained bed pillows, wrong sized toilet seat for toilet and not to mention I killed over 10 bugs during my stay.
Please keep in mind *** Only 2 TV channels and no A/C in house.
Bill should spend at least one days of the money I paid him and hire a maid to really clean his place thoroughly. Bill didn’t even leave me a bar of soap to shower with but luckily I had my own body wash. He left me with only 1.5 rolls of toilet paper for a whole week. I had to spare a square every time and was afraid to approach him based on him not being friendly, approachable and not ever saying more than 5 words to me.
The worst part was I was so looking forward to meeting this great host others had talked so highly of. Perhaps he is better with one night guests compared to 7 night guests who are there 24 hours a day invading his space even though I always kept my distance. Either that or he was afraid to communicate with a female alone in his house or extremely shy. I explained I was fully vaccinated and had 4 negative Covid19 tests in 3 weeks and I always wore a mask around him and kept my distance. With that said, he shouldn’t have been afraid of communicating with me as I was just following Health Canada’s strict guidelines coming back to Canada.
I WOULD NOT recommend Bill’s place until he hires a maid or learns how to clean properly especially during COVID19. Based on my whole experience and that I only slept there 6 nights but paid for 7 nights I feel I definitely overpaid.
