Nicks house is charming and located in a safe neighborhood, with plenty of parking. I was never worried about the safety of my car or person. I liked the privacy that nick and his family provided and the little touches in the room were thoughtful.
While, overall, the stay was pleasant, there were a few things that I didn’t enjoy. One being that there is no storage in the bathroom and placing my toiletries on top of the toilet bowl seemed very unsanitary.
Second, temperature control, or the lack thereof. There is NO ceiling fan! A little tower fan/purifier was provided but that didn’t do much to combat the stuffiness of the room. On multiple occasions, I had to open the doors and window for 10 minutes to get it to cool down. It wasn’t above 75F during my stay and it was still hot in there so summertime guests beware.
Lastly, the sofa bed. All I have to say is OOOWW! Before booking, I read through all the comments to ensure that the sofa bed wouldn’t be a problem. I’ve slept on my share of sofa beds and have always slept well......Until now. I woke up Saturday morning with my lower back in so much pain that I couldn’t even bend over without wincing and feeling sharp pains and not even 2 Aleve helped. I have no back problems and have had no trouble sleeping anywhere before. I was able to sleep better after I converted it back to a sofa the next night but still had to use pillows to support my aching back.
Other things to note: The Tv is wonderful! The shower is pretty tiny (I’m 5’4” 125 lbs and it felt cramped). You will hear some noises from the rest of the house (kids, faucets) but nothing too loud or obnoxious.
While I enjoyed the privacy I got and the neighborhood, I don’t think I’ll give Nicks place a try until they make some modifications.
