I was very excited to stay at Desere's place because it seemed quite perfect for us. We were two people and Desere was really accommodating in putting in 2 single beds instead of 1 big bed. When communicating with her, I felt that this would be a good stay. However, things soon turned bad when I arrived. I was really unhappy to find that Desere was not there and that I would be staying in a house full of a lot of men. I felt quite unsafe as a woman. I also wasn't aware that so many people shared the space. She mentions that Tim and David help host but I wasn't aware that they actually lived in the space. The house smelled a bit funky and David said their helper was not around. The silverware was all rusted. I could not find a single fork that did made me feel okay to use. They also have a cat which is not mentioned in the listing. I'm quite scared of cats and felt uneasy around it. If you have any allergies I would say avoid this place due to the cat. David (who hosted us at the time) has quite an intense personality which sometimes made us feel uncomfortable.
