Jody was quick to respond to all my queries - a really efficient host. The house looked exactly as the pictures showed, well-managed, really clean and neat almost spotless I would say which is the best part of it.
Unfortunately, we had some hiccups and awkwardness with the mom, Sally, who lives there permanently. I’m not sure if the soundproof in the house is just really bad or if the walls are just really thin, but each time my friend and I starts talking slightly louder, or starts listening to songs or watch videos, it would be heard by people outside the room and would considered as loud? We were told off face to face by Sally one night, and by Jody on the airbnb app twice about the noise level. Since then, we had to whisper and tip-toe around the house which were mentally and emotionally pressuring and draining for us.
My friend and I are both students who stayed for 5D4N. I’m not sure if they’ve ever hosted students, but due to the different lifestyles and way of living, we were told off multiple times which put us off a lot while being in the house.
All in all, the house is a great place in terms of the amenities, cleanliness and location. But it wasn’t a pleasant stay for us as we experienced an immense amount of pressure while living in the house.
