I'm not sure how people had such glowing reviews of this place as my friends and I did not have a good stay and were glad to finally check out. I cannot recommend this place to others. Some issues we encountered:
1. TV satellite dish was not working. I messaged the host who tried to troubleshoot over the phone but it did not work. When I could not get it to work, he simply said he was sorry and that he could not stop by the house to fix the problem. So, no TV for 3 days.
2. For those of us who slept on the futon mattresses, they were so thin that we woke up with sore backs. Even the pillows were so thin that we needed to place towels/clothes underneath so we didn't get a stiff neck too.
3. The internet is so slow and if you are in the bedrooms on the third floor, the signal is very weak, making it virtually unusable.
4. The house could use better availability of basic amenities. For example, there were no towels for both the kitchen sink or the third floor bathroom (there was a towel in the first floor bathroom though).
5. The sofa was in poor condition and had a rip straight down the middle of the cushion.
6. The bathroom sinks were filthy. There was a ring of soap scum around the drain of the sink.
