I booked last minute and I appreciate Jay hosting me on short notice. Jay gave me a tour when I arrived and he seemed like a really nice guy with a young family. I was gone for most of the evening, returning at 10pm, and I only stayed one night.
As he described, the room is on the larger size for a townhouse. The bed was clean and there was a fan in the room. Otherwise, unfortunately, I didn't find his house to be up to the standard I've found with other superhosts. There were two other bedrooms upstairs in addition to the bedroom I was staying in and the family sleeps downstairs. That is a lot of people in a small space.
The kitchen and living room area was certainly "lived in" and overall the townhouse is quite tired. It needs new carpets, a good scrubbing, and fresh paint. There was also a cockroach crawling up my wall in the bedroom as I was getting ready for bed.
The gate to the townhouse was broken and stuck in an open position (though this certainly isn't Jay's fault), but it just added to the tired feeling. I parked on the road and thankfully didn't have any issues.
While Jay seems like a lovely person and I would have liked to write a glowing review, my experience didn't match the other reviews; I stayed in nicer AirBnB homes in Hamilton for less money and would likely return there instead.
