John's place is cheaper than others nearby by $20 ~ $30. However, this cheap price comes with lots of inconvenience; not easy street parking, occasionally unavailable washer/dryer occupied by the host's stuff, super-slow draining of bathroom's sink, not comfortable hot water condition for shower, needs guest's own shampoo/body soap (its OK, but it should be announced to guests in advance), no spare bathroom tissue at appropriate spot, no facial tissues in bed room, no trash can in bed room. To be fair, I thank him for one good thing. When I might need to find a place to stay after John's place, he proposed extended stay for a few nights to me even though he plans to be absent during that period.
