Let’s first start off with saying, I’m bougie, so I will not let that affect my review, but yet will provide accurate details of my stay.
The host, Jelena was so responsive from the moment I reached out to inquired about the room, all the way until a few hrs after checking out. She reached out several times during my stay to assure everything was ok. There’s 2 other people living in the home, a man on the ground level floor, whom I didn’t have any encounters with, and a woman on the second floor, the same floor as the rented room, name Tianna. She was the sweetest, and very helpful. The home is kept cleaned, and on the ground level floor there is a refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher and stove, although I didn’t use over have the appliances provided. I didn’t ask about laundry, so I’m unsure if there is one on-site. So here is where I probably would have either weighed out my options for staying in the home or not. For starters, I’m a woman traveling alone, so feeling safe, is a HUGE thing for me. There is no way to lock the door of the room you are renting. So pretty much anyone can walk in, and although I wasn’t given any reason to believe that the area wasn’t safe, it just provide some sense of peace knowing you have that option. The “dedicated” parking is around the back, in the alley. There’s carports assigned to the home. The first night I had to park on the street, in which was very tough, and required a parking permit. Fortunately, Tianna was able to get me one for that one night. However, if you park in the car port, you have to walk to the front, and it’s dark, unless the motion lights come on closer towards the front of the building. Lastly, the private bathroom is not en-suite, in which I was under the impression it will be, just based on some of the photos from the ad. I would recommend this place to others looking to travel, as long as those areas I mentioned isn’t a deal breaker for you. Jelena was probably close to one of the top hosts I’ve rented from. So just because I didn’t like that there was no lock on the bedroom door, no en-suite bathroom, or better parking, I still chose to give her 5 stars, because she was a phenomenal host.
