I stayed in the Blue Room and was scheduled to stay for approximately 5 weeks (5/11/22 through 6/19/22). I left a week early because I had a chance to house sit for a friend in the area.
The positives:
My room was clean and bathroom were clean upon arrival.
Madisyn and her parents are lovely people. I also liked her sweet cat.
The location is awesome, grateful to have found it.
Parking is good and the wifi was great (never had issues with both).
Here are the reasons why I didn't give it 5 stars:
-The fridge was really dirty. Matted hair with layers of stickiness on the bottom, the drawers also just very very dirty. I cleaned a shelf to put my food on and the grime was really caked on. Each guest also gets a bin (pantry bin) for the kitchen and mine was sticky in which I also cleaned. I did not confront her about this (at the time of writing this, the host was living in the space as well).
-The listing at this time (it may have changed as she was moving out around the same time I also left) said no guests and no additional pets. Approximately a week into my stay the other guest arrived. She had a pet cat and a friend also stay in the house for about a week. I was initially confused (she also had another guest come to the house) and confronted her about it. It turns out for an additional fee, pets and guests are welcome but I wish I would've known about that before having to inquire about it.
-Bug issues: the kitchen has an ant problem and the bathroom I was using had a drain fly issue. There are also a lot of cobwebs (my room, kitchen I noticed). I confronted her about both the ants and drain flies; I was told the ants came out when it got hot and the drain flies I reminded her again when she and her father were around on a weekend. There was bug spray available but eventually ran out (huge ant trails going to the trash can twice in my stay there). For the drain flies, I covered a bowl over the showed after being told to put boiling water down the drain (it didn't work). Her dad kindly put bleach down the drain and I wasn't around to see if it worked or not.
-The shower I used smelled of sulfur and seemed to get worse with my stay. The kitchen sink smelled pretty bad, though I felt we were all pretty good about our dishes. (I told them about the smell in the shower, but not about the sink).
