First of all, please, look at my other reviews: I am definitely not the kind of person who complains all the time! Then, read on. A short review for this place would be: it is a dump! A more detailed one follows. I am puzzled by the numerous positive reviews I have read. Yes, the place is large. And, yes, it is not too expensive. Also, I am sure it is close to hospitals or whatever other facilities travellers are interested in. But to give five star to a place like this one means at least two things: (a) that those who left those positive reviews enjoy staying at cheap roadside motels that have not been renovated or throughly cleaned since the 1950s (this is really the best analogy I can find!); and, (b) that they have very little experience with AirBnB and do not know how many beautiful places are offered on this website! I am sure the owner is a very nice person. I really don't know because communication with him has been minimal, much more limited than what we have been used to by other hosts. Also, I want to clarify that what we are reviewing is the unit that is been rented out and not the basement! I am not sure why the owner refers back to the basement whenever he responds to negative reviews. We definitely did not go down there, as we had enough of what we saw upstairs! Also, saying that the walls have been recently painted is clearly a false statement. Walls, as everything else, have not been touched, I suspect, in decades. They are dirty, covered in marks and quite disgusting. Everything is fairly dirty. Furniture is old and in bad shape. Instructions for guests are hand written in permanent marker on the kitchen cabinets (real pride of ownership!!!) The light fixture over the dining table did not work (only the fan did). We rented as a group of four and found one large towel in the bathroom. Many of the tiny ones available were stained and looked dirty. In a closet, we saw something that might have been additional large towels but that looked like First World War memorabilia and we did not touch them. The queen bed we slept in was so broken and 'U' shaped that we found ourselves stuck to each other, again and again, in the middle of it. We were woken up by noisy neighbours talking loudly in the back yard (covered in garbage) at six in the morning. Finally, in the morning, I went to the kitchen hoping to get at least a cup of coffee. I am sure the coffee machine works, but I did not have the opportunity to test it as every single coffee pod available was of the decaffeinated variety ... Definitely not the best option after a night of very little sleep and a day of driving in front of us! Not the most important aspect of this experience,...
