With this being a long-term stay (2 months) for my wife and I - I have a lot to say.
The host:
David was incredibly chill and easy to get along with. He was home a lot, and although we didn’t talk frequently, when we did, the conversation was always nice and we felt incredibly comfortable sharing the common areas with him. He was a great communicator.
Shared spaces:
My wife works from home and I did almost every day, too during our stay. David left ample space for us to utilize in the pantry and in the fridge. The kitchen was always clean and everything you would expect to need in a kitchen was available for us to use. We never used the living room but it was a neat space with a TV. The dining room table was great for getting work done quietly and was never noisy during our stay. We also shared a hall bathroom with David and it was always clean and accessible.
We never ventured to the back yard, but it seemed like a good space from what we saw. The laundry is in the garage and was great. It costs $5 per load which we thought was reasonable.
Our room:
The room is on the smaller side, but that was expected based on the photos. There was a ton of storage space on top of the closet for our bags (since we live from AirBnB to AirBnB we have about eight total). We rarely see that kind of space anywhere to store bags.
The closet was plenty large enough for both of our wardrobes. The desk was a good place to work, but the chair in the room isn’t the most comfortable after sitting for a while. The TV and PlayStation 4 in the room were incredibly easy to use as a smart TV.
I was worried about the size of the bed based on the photos before moving in, but once we arrived I realized it was plenty of room for two people and very comfortable (way more comfy than most AirBnB beds we’ve slept on). There was also plenty of space under the bed to store items if you need to.
Final thoughts:
Our stay at David’s was great and I highly recommend this space for a person or couple needing a place for a few nights or a few months. If you are weary of sharing some spaces with the host - don’t be in this case. It will be worth it. And that’s coming from two introverts. Thanks again for everything, David!
