The good: host was fantastic, communicative, the spot was clean and very well-located. I didn’t mind the toilet in the shower. Washer is super convenient. The listing was accurate.
The bad: out of my five nights there, I did not get a single full night of sleep. it was SO HOT. Even when it was cool outside, it was extremely stuffy inside. There was no window screen, so when I tried to leave the window open at night a couple times, I woke up several times from mosquito bites.
When the window was closed at night, I had the fan blasting all full and it’s quite loud, and would wake up intermittently covered in sweat so again made it difficult to sleep. When I left it open during the day to air out but closed at night, somehow still got six mosquito bites on my face and hands.
The bed is small and with some tossing and turning due to the heat, the mattress kept moving off the base and I’d wake up again from almost falling.
(On the bright side, it was so hot inside that all my laundry dried in a few hours while hanging right in the room.)
I knew there was no AC, but given how small the place is, high ceilings, and lack of airflow with a window that cant really be open due to privacy and bug reasons, I think the experience was definitely unexpected. Also, the office chair is just one of those flimsy ikea stools with no back so it’s not great for working although the WiFi signal was the best ive experienced in traveling so far.
It seems like it would be great for fall/winter/spring, but definitely would not recommend for summer. I don’t leave negative reviews ever, but want to warn future travelers of my very tiring experience!
