Let me start by saying that Carole's home and bathroom were as advertised: clean and cute! The tiny house was a quick 10 step walk to the bathroom, which was very clean and nice to use. The bed was comfortable, and with the fan on and the windows open, you get a nice cool night with a breeze (even if you get some ambient noise from the freeway and the neighborhood, too).
I lowered the star ratings is because of the 7pm check in time. We found that the unforgiving cancellation/change policy created a lot of hassle for us. We had to get ready for a wedding at a distant acquaintance's house after traveling all day, then haul our bags to and from the wedding itself in our formal wear. We reached out directly to Carole to inquire about an earlier check in several weeks in advance, and were frustrated that she was unwilling to work with us at all, even when we acknowledged our fault in not noticing the 7pm check in time on her listing. At that point, it was after the 48 hours from booking, so we would have had to forfeit the entire cost to rebook elsewhere.
Of course, we recognize that in a gig economy for housing, this is Carole's prerogative. However, 7pm is an egregiously late check in time, well outside the normal realm of what's common or expected. It's unreasonable to assume that everyone can or is willing to accommodate that kind of schedule. We definitely made a mistake by not double checking it all, but we also found that Carole could have been a little more understanding in letting us re-book or come earlier, given the lead time on the conversation and the general proximity to the time that we booked relative to the time we discovered the issue.
TL;DR: If a 7pm check in time and noon check out time doesn't bother you (reflecting a real nightly rate of around $100, taking this into consideration), then you won't run into the same issue we did.
