Negatives:
-Towels seemed to have washed but all had colored/ black stains which was unsettling.
-being on top of the host family makes you feel the need to try to be quiet and tiptoe around at night.
-there is not a control for the a/c in your half of the house (we were very hot the first night and kept windows open but dogs barking early in the morning made it difficult on us to sleep in since we are night owls)
-beds are extremely firm
Positives:
-hosts are nice
-location is great
-ample space and the living room with couches is comfortable
