Pros:
- The room was clean
- The mattress was comfortable (but no bed cover and no bed-frame, just a flimsy metal frame).
- The neighborhood was quiet
Cons:
- The hosts love their rules all too much
- No access to kitchen or mini refrigerator (read below)
The issue with the communication is that we were constantly policed around the rules of the house.
This was pretty extreme and unpleasant. The rules are drilled when you first book the place, then when you arrive at the place, and then AGAIN when you enter the room, it is laced with banners of rules all over the room.
Treating adults like babies is just a very immature thing to do. I would not treat adults nor babies this way.
We were two friends staying at the place and we both independently felt like this was extreme and unbecoming of good hosting practices. In fact we felt very uncomfortable the whole time and could not wait to leave the place.
In addition, the whole time you are not allowed to access the kitchen and there is no mini refrigerator in the room so we had to spend a TON OF MONEY on eating outside the house and not even able to keep leftovers for later TO EAT OUTSIDE THE HOUSE.
There is plenty of parking in the house's driveway, 3 cars can fit in easily, but the host told us:
"let me know if you want to park in the driveway because if you do, this means I have to move my car". Then on the second night when we got back home and there was a party next door, and no parking for 3 blocks so we had to park 3 blocks away because the host could not be bothered to make space for another car in the driveway.
The host also insists on using two locks on the front door. For some reason one lock is not enough (same locking mechanism used by all other hosts, and other hosts use just one lock), so our bootcamp to the house included instructions on how we need to lock the second lock at night when we are the last one in.
On the second night after parking far away due to no parking, we were also locked outside the house because the host locked the second lock which disabled our ability to open the lock with the code.
All these very unaccommodating rules made the stay one we dont recommend.
