Very mixed feelings. The hosts were nice and accommodating but there were so many pitfalls for me that I had to end my stay early. The host refunded the last night.
The area is nice, close to the museum and park and some great restaurants.
The place itself didn't work for me for a few reasons:
- the bathroom was not very clean
- there is only 1 bathroom for quite a few people living/staying in the space
- the kitchen didn't seem very friendly or inviting to use
- my room had some dust but was otherwise reasonable
- there was some oddness with toilet paper, the host gave me half a toilet roll to use personally and to take with me. Needless to say, I forgot it in the bathroom and then everyone else used it and so I was left without paper. But by the time I discovered it, it was 1am so I was not going to wake the host up and ask for that.. it's just odd and uncomfortable.
- the water heater system requires you to turn on the heat 15 minutes before taking the shower and the hot water would only last about 7 minutes
- there was no way to lock my bedroom and there were a few other guests in the house
- if you're not a smoker, don't stay here, the smoke gets everywhere. The host accommodated by placing a towel under my door but it still got in.
All and all, it's what it is.
I gave it 3 stars because the host refunded the last night I left, which is fair.
