The visit was not as welcoming as I would had liked it to be. The host's absence had become a bit of an inconvenience for our stay. The home appliances had very many issues that needed the host's attention. Somehow it became the visitor's responsibility to remind the host the status of the appliances such as the TV not working, the shower didn't have hot water, the toilet seat was assembled wrongly, etc. These problems were identified initially. I also wished that the host had spent more time cleaning the place before letting someone stay here. Quite frankly, the place had a lot of stuff lying around. Items were found occupying cabinets and drawers. The storage room which we believed was previously a kitchen was very smelly. There was a smell that oozed out of the room which was quite unappetizing but we don't know what it was. We understand that the host was out of town during our stay so we did our best to not bother him but sometimes it was just too much.

One thing that I am grateful about is the location. I booked the place knowing that it was a close to downtown and also very convenient. I am glad to not be disappointed by this.
