A few good notes: The private entrance with private bathroom was nice. Although close to a busy street, the room was fairly quiet with the fan running. The cat was super friendly, and the host was nice the few times we saw each other. Parking on the street was sufficient and I didn't have any issues there.
The bad:
1. It took me over an hour to find the place and get inside. The address listed was different than where the 'Directions' button took me so I was very confused where I needed to go. I tried calling several times and wrote a few messages and didn't get a response for quite a long time. I was about to knock on the wrong door when I finally got a message back with instructions on how to get in the house.
2. "Please don't wear shoes anywhere in the house. This allows me to keep the place super clean for me and my guests." That was the guidance listed in the instructions. The bedroom was fairly clean, but the kitchen was a bit less acceptable. The floor was visibly dirty, crumbs and splatter all over the stove, food wrappers and dishes on the counter, dishes in the sink, even though instructions said to do your own dishes and put them away. I'm a guest that paid for the house, not a friend from out-of-town. If a hotel room had been this messy I would have asked for a refund and gone somewhere else.
3. Bedding may have been acceptable for a toddler. Decent pillows at Costco are $20 for 2 so I don't think the expectation to have a few nice pillows is out of line. One sheet and a thin comforter weren't all that great either. An extra available blanket would have been nice. Outlets with a ground would have been nice to so I could charge my computer.
All in all, it was a comfortable place to stay minus a few disappointments. I realize it isn't a 5-star hotel so maybe I need to adjust my expectations. Maybe I'll have better luck next time.
